Shownotes

Hi yโ€™all! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ This week, we unlock our 1st ever private podcast episode with guests Lisa Hurley and Sharon Hurley Hall to talk about rooted community that outlasts white supremacy. To commemorate the winter as a time of gathering, we get real about community and why many white spaces struggle with building the deeper layers of connection. Watch todayโ€™s podcast.

We look back on our chat from February just after Trump's inauguration. Both sisters are storytellers and use their power of words to imagine a liberated world.

It was a thoughtful conversation that confronts things head-on, while also being joyful and inviting!
