Episode 4: Indigenous Organizing

As we collectively struggle for a better world, it can often be difficult to truly envision what we are creating. Thankfully, in Seattle we are surrounded by artists and creatives that can give us visual representations of this better world. This month, Nourish host Nica Sy joins local artist Lourdez Velasco to talk about the intersection between art and organizing.

Episode 5: Art & Organizing

Often when we talk about creating change in our community or building a better world, we can get so caught up in the theory that we forget that it takes practice. We must practice our politics and we must practice our values, if we really want to create something new. In this episode of the Nourish podcast, host Nica Sy sits down with guest Paris Chapman to talk about the practice of transformative justice, and how our relationship to food reflects our relationships to people.

Episode 6: Transformative Justice

Nourish is a radio show centered around documenting the stories and histories of Seattle organizers through family recipes and food. Hear from organizers about their youth, struggles, dreams for the future, and what’s tied it all together: food. Food has the power to unite and activate communities. As we dive deeply into the histories of our communities, these stories will bring you closer to understanding the people who fight for the liberation of us all.
