Voyaging into the Academic Void - Final Project:Podcast

A reminder that if you ever feel stuck... from the mud, grows the lotus. 
El Viento puede aclarar nuestra vista, pero a veces las nubes pueden dejar nos algo bello con su despedida.

“The Alchemist Manifesto: A Podcast with Mario Obando and Daniel Topete” is dedicated to two friends holding space and making time to have holistic and humanizing pláticas and charlas with the aim of alchemizing our individual experiences into shared healing and wisdom. The amistad that produces this podcast emerges from our shared commitment to social justice, as teachers and scholars in the fields of critical and relational ethnic studies, and of course, our creative and everyday efforts to imagine better worlds with our loved ones, communities and spirits.
