Demetrius T. Gary describes the impact moving from a multilingual, multiracial middle school experience to a rural, mostly white high school where he was the only Black person had on his racial identity development. He shares his experiences with assimilation, what led him to view code-switching as an asset, and how that unforgettable transition helped him realize there isn’t any one way to be Black.

Demetrius also tells the story of how disorienting it was to be the only Black student in his grad school cohort, and how having affirming supervision helped convert experiences of alienation into agency, including a supervisor whose attentive inquiry validated his experiences with racist dynamics at work; experiences that continue to inform his “why” for working in university housing, his approach to coaching, the ethics of supervision, and the value of deliberate, affirming leadership that deliberately chooses to face race instead of ignoring it.

Reflecting on over a decade of teaching, Relando Thompkins-Jones explains his teaching philosophy and why it centers critical self and systems reflection, education as a path to liberation in collaboration and community.

He reflects on the significance of social justice education, which not only provided him with language to express himself and describe the experiences, and inequitable patterns he was recognizing but didn't yet have the words for, but also with practical skills necessary to act, intervene, and confront systemic inequity wherever he can.

Key things to consider:

• Education as a tool and pathway for liberation and way to understand systemic inequities and systemic interventions.
• The importance of critical reflection on our roles within larger systems and power dynamics.
• Engaging with lived experiences creates space for deeper understanding of how oppression is perpetuated, and how we can play a role in designing better ways of being in relationship with ourselves, with each other and the world around us.

Everyone has a role to play, and we need as many people as possible our there working to create change however we can, with whatever we have. Storytelling and story sharing are necessary vehicles on the journey of discovery.

Instead of a single, pivotal moment, Sarah Jones compares her journey towards social justice work to a fire that ignited during her first experiences with race and racism in the 1st grade, defining further memories and experiences as the logs that kept the fire burning.

She shares a story about how studying abroad as a first-generation college student revealed how capitalism reinforces inequity by limiting access to travel opportunities, especially for Black and Brown students. Her experience clarified her commitment to making travel experiences more accessible and inclusive, which she does in her work today, leading global leadership programs with an intentional focus on equity.

Sarah shares what sustains her, what keeps her up at night when it comes to global equity trends, and why rest, community, and storytelling matters in social justice work.

Made with minimal equipment and rooted in the idea that ideas need time to grow, this bonus crossover episode between Notes From an Aspiring Humanitarian (NAH) and Social Justice Origin Stories revisits Relando's very first recording from 10 years ago with special guest l o t i walker, a social worker, social justice advocate, artist, and photographer.

l o t i shares why she chose social work, the challenges of working within under-resourced systems, the importance of cultural humility, and building trust through client-centered practice.

She also explores art as self-care, describes her “funky production” approach to problem-solving, and speaks on the power of storytelling and naming our experiences for ourselves.

Sometimes, reflecting on the past helps us move forward. Social Justice Origin Stories is an idea whose time has come, but there was a podcast before the podcast, a platform before the platform.

In today's episode of Design Decisions, Relando reflects on the experiences that led him to create his very first podcast, Notes From an Aspiring Humanitarian, and how that journey laid the groundwork for his work with Social Justice Origin Stories.

Tyler Adams of the GoodPain Podcast opens up about how a life-altering event involving his youngest daughter cracked his heart open and expanded his understanding of privilege, complicity with oppressive systems, and what it really means to live in alignment with his values, including using storytelling to make heart-to-heart connections that create lasting change.

He shares his experiences with the complexities of navigating loss, confronting privilege, subverting the status quo, and the power of staying connected to our humanity.

Tyler encourages listeners to resist the "path of least resistance," refuse to be passive participants, and to remember the importance of collective action and accountability on the journey toward justice.

dr. monique liston, founder of Ubuntu Research and Evaluation, tells the story of how her dissertation research on human dignity for Black people led her to root her organization in the concept of ubuntu: “I am because we are” as a rejection of individualistic, capitalist thinking and a response to anti-Blackness and data violence.

She shares how navigating academic and professional spaces as a Black woman moved her to create an environment where smart Black girls are affirmed and where teams can interrupt harmful narratives, misinterpretations, and visual depictions about Black communities.

dr. liston connects Ubuntu to abolitionist leadership, describes Ubuntu Research and Evaluation’s “undisciplined” and “ungovernable” approach, and encourages listeners to read books, write books, and embody Ubuntu right where they are.

Kwesi A. Robertson shares about his journey through corporate America, pop culture, and the experiences that shaped his awareness of social justice. He describes the patterns that led him to recognize why access to vulnerability isn't a level playing field, noting how popular self-help and success narratives often hide an "underbelly" that ignores systemic barriers while blaming individuals for the negative outcomes they experience.

Kwesi defines social justice as a form of love and a foundational lens for understanding reality, urging listeners to seek connection, shared language that actually acknowledges the complexity of our experiences, and shared responsibility to build spaces where everyone can fully show up.
