  • Episode #30: Encountering Resistance and Doing It Anyway with Wanda James, Founder and CEO of Simply Pure Dispensary

    Welcome back and thank you all for tuning in to the latest episode of the Working Within Podcast Season 3! We’re so glad to have you here with us. 💜  

    In this week’s episode we are joined by Wanda James who is the first Black woman to own a cannabis growth facility, edible company, and dispensary in the United States. Wanda is currently running for the Colorado University Board of Regents, which is responsible for overseeing a budget of $5.2 billion. Learn more about her platform here: wanda4cu.com  

    While Wanda is an extremely empowering force, we don't want to under-emphasize what we discuss about the criminal legal system, slave labor, and the impact of the drug war on predominantly Black communities. As Wanda mentions on this episode, "the dispensary is a means to an end" for the historical, disproportionate incarceration of Black bodies due to cannabis.

    Taking risks and being the first can be exhausting, trying, and anxiety-provoking, but we dive deep into how we have power to choose the narrative for our lives. This episode’s title really resonates with the way that we envision this podcast growing and evolving as we touch on subjects we never have before. From cannabis to political movements, openly discussing these topics is something we’re learning to be unapologetic about.

  • Episode #29: Getting Comfortable with our Platform's Liberation with Charlyn

    Welcome to Season 3 of the Working Within Podcast and thank you for joining us for another episode! You can read this episode description like you’re talking to me [Charlyn] since I’m the only guest this week. I know it’s been a while.

    I’m really eager for this episode to be shared because I’m discussing our future *after more than a year of production* and talking about how much we’ve learned since we started *more than a year ago*.

    I also recorded during Mercury Retrograde, so we had time to slow down and talk astro again and be grateful. There is so much that’s happened and been magical for me and the team in the past few months, so we wanted to let you in on some of it….along with some ideas about the do’s and don’ts of Mercury retrograde

    Working Within is also re-establishing our vision. It’s been a season of changes for me professionally, and the people we’ve attracted to the show have taught me a lot about being unafraid of more “controversial” topics, especially when these are the topics that affect Black and Brown people, and people who are negatively affected by the status quo.

    Oh and the Working Within team continues to grow as we do! If you haven’t sent a psychic hello to Hannah or Mara yet, please do so. You can also see more about them on our Team page.

    Please enjoy this clip from the episode, and be sure to head to our homepage to find links for viewing and listening to the full recording!

    As always, THANK YOU for listening.

  • Episode #28: Discipline as a Duty to the Self with The Honorable Shannon Frison

    Welcome back and thank you all for tuning in to the latest episode of the Working Within Podcast Season 3! We’re so glad to have you here with us. 💜

    In this week’s episode we are joined by The Honorable Judge Shannon Frison, who is currently serving in her 13th year as Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court. Judge Frison has spoken on a robust set of topics that elevate conversations around diversity in law. Some of her engagements include speaking for the Massachusetts Bar Association on “How To Identify Implicit Bias In Jury Selection Through Voir Dire”, and speaking on “Litigating Race” for the New England Innocence Project. Judge Frison has also spoken at the National LGBT Bar Lavender Law Conference on the different pathways to judgeship. A special thank you to Jeff Livingston for connecting us!

    Somehow we fit tattooing, the Marine Corps, and Black womanhood into one conversation, diving into the critical stages in our lives that allowed us to cultivate persistent work ethics, solidify our mental fortitude, and learn to be confident in freely expressing ourselves. Give this episode a listen to learn more about Judge Frison and how her path gifted her the tenacity for lifelong social justice work.

    Please enjoy this clip from our conversation, and be sure to head to our homepage to find links for viewing and listening to the full-length episode!

    We can never stay away for too long, welcome back to Working Within Podcast Season 3!
    There’s nothing like catching up with a good friend! In this week’s episode we are joined by Dr. Heather Cameron, Social Innovator and Entrepreneur, who Charlyn had the pleasure of taking two classes with during undergrad: The Business of Social Impact and Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship.
    Tap in as we discuss how our  life journey reflects back to us where we choose to show up for ourselves, living sustainably, our community, and other people that we encounter along the way. Examining the truth about your own individual willpower, and how that plays a major part in the way we choose to live is the topic this week. Through Dr. Heather Cameron’s journey in Berlin, she welcomes us into some vulnerable spaces revealing her own hard truths about willpower, jealousy and perseverance.
