- Kerri Kelly: Waking Up to Whiteness (Brave, Messy, Urgent)
How can we be better allies to people of color and other marginalized communities, while also being compassionate with ourselves when things get messy?

Her work was sparked on 9/11, when she lost her fireman step-dad in the Towers.

Since then, Kerri has worked passionately across communities to fight for justice and well-being.

- What we can do to make well-being more accessible to marginalized communities
- How does White Fragility arise in us?

45 min - My Social Media Detox: 7 Lessons Learned
After being challenged by a friend, I took a 40-day social media detox from Instagram and Facebook. I published this blog, the day before the detox began: My Social Media Addiction is Real: Getting off the 'Gram.
I've lived to tell the tale and am now sharing the 7 BIG lessons I learned from 40 days without Facebook or Instagram.
My hope is that -- through my experience -- you will be inspired to consider your own relationship with social media so that you can be empowered in the way you engage with it (and truthful about its impact on your everyday life).

About We Human (formerly SoulFeed)
From the publisher's feed
We've been scrolling for twenty years. We've been human for two hundred thousand.
WE HUMAN is a stake in the ground: a podcast and a movement for those of us finding our way out of the digital stupor and back into real life. And in an era of collective numbing, we are here to usher forth a renaissance of rehumanization.
Every swipe trains our nervous systems to regulate with an inhuman technology that knows no boundaries. Every reach for the phone is a moment we are not reaching inward to imagine and wonder, and not reaching toward one another. A simulation of AI-generated "care" is not soothing to the human soul.
Core belief No. 1: "The human soul is irreplaceable." —Shannon Algeo
Core belief No. 2: "Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be." —André De Shields
Core belief No. 3: "If you're lucky enough to find out that you have a gift … then it's your job to nurture it and to protect it." —Catherine O'Hara
Let's slow down to take the scenic route. Because we've got time.
Grounded in interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and depth psychology, WE HUMAN explores how we can nurture and protect our humanity, our inner worlds, and our relationships. No machine can replace your soul's creative gift, which can only be channeled through the embodied vessel of you. Here, we move from consuming to creating, from scrolling to making, and from isolation back into the resonant "field of we." It's time to rekindle your artistic spark, and remember the aliveness you knew before the screens arrived.
Each month brings two episodes: one deep conversation with the philosophers, neuroscientists, artists, clinicians, contemplatives, and coalition builders reimagining what it means to be human, along with one solo creative episode from your host—psychotherapist and poet Shannon Algeo, who approaches podcasting as an art form of sacred storytelling that uplifts the ancient technology of the human voice.
Every guest is invited to share a story from childhood and their most poignant message for humanity during this transformational time. No bite-sized content. No shrinking attention spans. We take the scenic route, because we have time.
In this age of tech-bro authoritarianism, let each of us remember: We have authority. We have agency. We have attention. We have choice.
Come remember what it means to WE HUMAN.
