I felt so honored and grateful just for getting the chance to be in the same room as these two warrior poets.
My guests this week, Jamie Dawson and Sam(ira) Obeid, are two of the most creative and brilliant people I have had the privilege of knowing.
We wove through many important and timely conversations all while striving to remain open, honest, and vulnerable.
Accountability and introspection were two themes that tied together the thoughts expressed.
Jamie and Sam both shared their deep insights on heavy conversations such as:
-How do we process the grief, the trauma, and the roller coaster that these past 12+ months have been?
-What does true allyship look like?
-What role do creativity, art, and poetry play in processing?
-What lies at the intersection of art and activism?
Jamie and Sam both provided true gifts on this one.
Please do yourself the favor of listening in.
For all of us striving to stay on the path - this one is for you.
You rock.
