The Evolutionary

This two-part solocast is designed to give intelligent people a rational basis to have hope for humanity, and start to understand why our personal evolution not only matters, but can have tremendous impact on the evolution and consciousness expansion of the collective of humanity at this unique time in human history.  In this two-parter I delineate and describe the six factors that are working together synergistically to create unprecedented opportunity for the rapid evolution of human consciousness.

Join me for part 2 of my talk with Rasha Pecoraro about her improbable transcendence from a family legacy darker than you can imagine!  Rasha is the Co-Host (with her sister Yvette) of the blockbuster Podcast “Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia”.  The sisters were also heavily involved in bringing their mother’s story to television in the TNT Limited TV Series “I Am The Night” directed by Patty Jenkins, starring Chris Pine and India Eisley. 

Rasha joins me to talk about her insanely dark family history, murder, child abuse, incest, drugs, and the improbable transcendence from intergenerational truama.

Rasha Pecoraro is the Co-Host of the popular Podcast “Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia” along with her sister, Yvette Gentile. “Root of Evil” tells the story of Rasha and Yvette’s mother, Fauna Hodel, her incredible life story, the story of their family, their connection to the most famous unsolved murder in American history, and how they have overcome the root of evil. Rasha and Yvette continue to perpetuate their mother’s legacy of love.  They were heavily involved in bringing their mother’s story to television in the TNT Limited TV Series “I Am The Night” directed by Patty Jenkins, starring Chris Pine and India Eisley. The two sisters are currently working on writing a book together. Rasha is a Plus Size Model (advocating for beauty at any size), an Actor, VoiceOver Artist, and former reality TV Star (The Biggest Loser). She is a Flight Attendant, and an LGBTQ Activist. Rasha was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and currently lives near Portland, Oregon with her wife, Vanna, and their daughter, Leilani.

Join me for an uplifting discussion with Rasha about her improbable transcendence from a family legacy darker than you can imagine! 

This is The Evolutionary podcast’s 3rd discussion in the subseries on the Black Lives Matter Movement 

Part 2 of my discussion with Roseburg City Council Member and business owner Brian Prowitz on racism and the white people in the middle.  Why is it so hard for us to talk about racism?  What is at stake for whites, for black indiginous and people of color, and for our future as a society?

This is the second discussion in the subseries on the Black Lives Matter Movement.  

You know something else that is shameful about this mess of racism in the US?  That guys like Brian Prawitz aren’t a dime a dozen, that it has required courage for him to speak out from his position, and that it's so easy to stay asleep for us white people.  However, there’s no snooze button on this alarm clock.  So here we are, awake, disgusted, confused and trying to sort it all out...publicly!  Perhaps our learnings (and failings) can help some other white people to work through their stuff too.  

Please join me for an open hearted discussion with Roseburg City Council member and local small business owner Brian Prawitz as we get real about Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, White Fragility, Colonialism and more.

Solocast!  Host David Knox gets real about Natural Selection, DNA and Evolution.  Learn what they didn’t tell you in school about the evolution of our species and the real role DNA plays in the animation and orchestration of biological life on earth, all in the context of a more empowering concept of “Evolution”: one that will help us evolve rapidly and with intention, both as individuals and as a species.    

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd and all of the police killings and violence leading up to the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent protests that have ensued across the nation and around the world, I am in the process of my own personal awakening and self-directed education regarding the system of racism that we were all, as americans, raised into.  And like any other aspect of a worldview, it is so pervasive that we may not even see it, as a fish cannot see the water.  It's invisible and it’s everywhere.  

In this journey I have come to see that racism is not only perpetrated by hatred and violence, but it is supported, and held in place by what Dr. King called the white moderate: meaning those of us who are sympathetic to the plight of POC, but we don’t understand the depth of the issues or the pervasiveness of the system of valuing whiteness and subjugating POC.  This is the system that our nation was built on from the very beginning.  A system that continues to thrive to this day.  

So in contemplating what I can do, it seemed fairly obvious to utilize the platform of The Evolutionary podcast to discuss these matters and attempt to keep them in the light, so that we can follow through on what we have now started as a nation:  That being the process of evolving into a nation of actual equality, a nation that lives by the higher ideals it has espoused for centuries, but has yet failed to instantiate.  

For that reason will be hosting several discussions on the Black Lives Matter movement on The Evolutionary, for there isn’t a movement on the planet today more charged with evolutionary opportunity than this.  

For the first BLM discussion, I asked Judge Kemp to be on the show to share his perspectives on social injustice and the experience of being a minority in the United States.   And his perspective is especially valuable because he sees it from multiple angles.  He is Black, Gay, and in a interracial marriage with a white man.  He also has the added perspective of having grown up in the south, as well as having lived overseas for 7 years.  

He is a familiar face among LGBTQ Portlanders with a deep history of community service.   Judge is a former member of Q center in Portland, a long-time supporter of Our House of Portland (a charity that provides housing and other vital services for people living with HIV).  He is also the former Board President of Red Dress Portland (a fundraising organization benefiting various charities in our community), and he has Served for the Governor on the Commission on Black Affairs for the State of Oregon.  He is also a beloved friend.  

His personal mantra is “community-focused and globally driven.”  He has a blog at judgedontjudge.blog.  Judge has graciously taken the time to discuss race in America on the show.
