In our first episode of CTZN Podcast, Rev angel Kyodo williams said:

But if people want to be in true relationship and really show up on the line with people that are overt victims of oppression, then what they have to risk more than anything is their vulnerability, is have a willingness to see someone that is different from them in all of these kinds of ways, economically, in terms of access to resources, skin color, religious, the level of persecution that they undergo, gender, how people show up in their bodies and the way in which they’re responded to on the basis of that. We have to allow ourselves to truly see those people for who they are, and the only way we can do that is to allow ourselves to be seen.

That is exactly what this podcast is about. And it wouldn’t be possible without the amazing people who said “we need to have this conversation”. Big shout out to Trevor Exter who saw this vision well before I did. And DJ Drez for the amazing sound track. And most of all, to the brilliant leaders who are out front blazing the trail and fighting for our collective wellbeing including Rev angel Kyodo williams, Marianne Williamson, Tarana Burke, Seane Corn, Paola Mendoza, Sharon Salzberg, Jamia Wilson, Chelsea Jackson Roberts, Mark Gonzales, Erin Schrode, Rod Stryker and Suzanne Sterling.
