J and Diane spend time talking about what they DON'T give af about in this episode and why. It's funny how talking about what you don't give af about turns into what you do care about! They are both looking forward to the end of this very loooooonnnnngggg year and turning their sights to 2026! #ydigafpodcast #holidays #marjorietaylorgreene #blackfriday 

Don't forget to give to Light Her Way JA to provide 500 solar backpacks to women and girls of Jamaica to help them in this immediate moment but also increase their sustainability going forward.

The holidays are upon us, especially in the US, and J and Diane are discussing their traditions, feelings, and tools to use when the foolishness arrives around the dinner table.  How do you feel about the holidays, do you have warm or stressful feelings when you prepare for time around the table with family and friends? J walks Diane through a scenario when someone said something offensive and Diane stumbled on how to address it. 

Visit our Linktree to find ways to give to others during this holiday season!

J and Diane discuss a wide spectrum of topics in this episode including climate catastrophes and how they impact people in a wide array of ways from Jamaica to Gaza and how important infrastructure is to the long term survival of those impacted. They touch on the COP 2025 UN Climate Summit that is happening right now in Brazil and talking about the lungs of the planet... do you know what that is?

Don't forget to go to J's website for her initiative Light Her Way JA and contribute whatever you can to get those 500 solar backpacks to women and girls on the island. Every dollar counts! #climatecatastrophe #rapidresponse #lungsoftheearth #ydigafpodcast #lightherwayja

J finally made it back to her beautiful island of Jamaica and she gives us an update on what she found and where we can help. She fills us in on current conditions and what she experienced when she arrived.

Buckle up, this is a long one!

J gives us an update on how things are in Jamaica in the wake of hurricane Melissa, offering resources for helping people rebuild and clean up. She is not on the island, and she shares how hard it is to be apart from her neighbors, and how we can best support through mutual aid.

With Hurricane Melissa bearing down as a Cat 5 onto J's beloved Jamaica, she and Diane talk about island living in these times, how an island deals with this level of environmental stressor, and what corporate responsibility is/should be to the communities they impact.  Are you an intentional tourist when you travel? Have you thought about the impact you have on the spaces you visit? 

Diane mentioned an interview she heard between Fiona Compton (@knowyourcaribbean on Insta) and Amanda Seales (@amandaseales on Insta). Fiona is the Cultural Ambassador of Grenada.

Have you been hearing all the stories around sacrificing heifers, the second coming, and sacred temples being built? What are your faith-based stories that live in your lives and who put them there? J and Diane talk about the stories that are surrounding many of us these days and what their roots might be tethered to. 

On Indigenous People’s Day in the United States, J and Diane spend time talking about what indigeneity is, how it is actively erased in this country specifically, and what we all need to pay more attention to in order to stop that erasure from happening?

J and Diane are in their new digs for a deeper talk about the Global Sumud Flotilla which is on it's way to Gaza as of the time of this recording and what we can all do to help it stay safe! They also look at where the US has spent its foreign aid in the past and where it is spending it now.

J and Diane talk more about how surveillance of their content might impact how they come to the space and how they are seeing an uptick in censorship across the board. They also talk about the difference between "peace" and "liberation". What does that difference mean to you in your life?
