Meet Eroc Arroyo-Montano, one of my dearest longtime friends. Part of my Boston family. A circle holder, artist and activist. Eroc’s is a passionate and prophetic voice. A man who is unafraid to feel and to model what healing looks like. He is a man for other men. A Puerto Rican father from a whole lineage of people who have committed their lives to justice. He is the Director of Cultural Organizing at United for a Fair Economy. A gifted trainer, facilitator and social media personality. He is @ErocSOULBear on Instagram and Twitter. I can’t wait for you to get to know him.
Kathryn Ramey is a filmmaker and anthropologist who is making beautiful and important work about Puerto Rico.
El Signo Vacío (the empty sign) is a feature-length cinematic essay interrogating the 120-year US occupation of Puerto Rico. She seeks to reveal the ways in which US democratic narratives effectively obscure military domination.
Meet Lawrence Barriner II. A story teller, facilitator, circle holder and friend. In this series he speaks of his personal journey growing up queer in the south. About the toxic patterns of patriarchy he was able to avoid by growing up outside of the cis/hetero societal structure and the patterns he is still trying to unlearn.
You may remember my friend Cyndi Suarez from our very first podcast episode. I interviewed her just as The Power Manual came out. It’s a year later and I asked her back to tell us about the impact of the book and the evolution of her thinking. Power is a posture. It is a stance. It is a practice that we can enact.
Meet Damali Vidot. Chelsea's City Council President. A mother. An activist. A healer. And the coolest, funniest person that you will ever meet. In this series she speaks of her journey from being a self proclaimed "hood rat" to Chelsea's City Council President. She teaches us about the difficulties of working in the political trenches, and how spirit has been integral to her survival.
Have you ever met a true healer? We need them now more than ever. Medicine people, witches and doulas. The ways of plants and the stars.
Meet my friend Luana Morales. Your birth, death and healing doula. A contemporary medicine woman. And a beloved leader in our activist community.
Are you ready to dig deep into who you are and what you really want out of life?
Meet my friend, Danielle Coates-Connor. She is a story-teller and communications strategist. Her work spans from award-winning documentary film to immersive video installations.
Danielle is the founder of Infinite Growth, and they are about to launch Holistic Vision, an 8-week dive into imagining, articulating, and deciding your direction. You should definitely check it out!
I love Danielle for her grounded wisdom, her queer voice and the very real ways she lives into community. You will be moved by our conversation. It is held by our shared commitment to presence, friendship and vulnerability.
