with bell hooks' guidance, adrienne and Autumn trace the conditions that leave us hopeless and despairing at work, and look at what becomes possible when we bring love to our labor, regardless of the conditions. The sisters describe their own journeys into doing what they love to do, and discuss the importance of giving ourselves permission to be in love with our work.

A Prayer For Our Bodies
won't you celebrate with me - by Lucille Clifton
---
won't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

Freedom Dreams
We're so excited to share an episode from a new podcast we think you'll love called Freedom Dreams. It's a show that explores historical examples of experiments in liberation, and dreams about how to expand the work already being done to build the abolitionist world we want to see beyond police and incarceration.
SUBSCRIBE TO FREEDOM DREAMS WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS.
In this episode, the Freedom Dreamers head over to The James and Grace Lee Boggs School in Detroit to learn about place-based education and its relationship to community action. Many think of school as a place where you get to know yourself?but what if it was also how you got to know your community? Ethan Lowenstein teaches us the basics of place-based education and how it knocks down the wall between school and community to better prepare students to live empowered, active lives. Then Julia Putnam, Amanda Rosman, and Marisol Teachworth (administrators at the Boggs School) tell us how language arts, science, and social studies classes can bring students into their communities to practice problem solving and engaging with the people around them. Our guests teach us about visionary organizing and how it focuses not just on what systems we?re tearing down but also what we?re building up. Listen in for these alternative models of academic success!

BONUS: Relating During the Pandemic with Autumn Brown
Before our new season kicks off next month, we're thrilled to bring you this essential episode from The Emergent Strategy Podcast. To support ESII, click here.
Mother, organizer, theologian and writer, Autumn Brown, joins host Mia Herndon on this week's episode of The Emergent Strategy Podcast. In a lively discussion, Autumn talks about parenting during the pandemic, the challenges and positives of relating through technology, and discovers (excitedly) the Hide Self View feature.
Society wants children who will become adults who believe their productivity is more important than their feelings. Me socializing my children to value their feelings at least as much as their productivity, if not more, isn't just about 'I want you to love yourself and be authentic!', it's also about'I want you to know when something is unfair. I want you to know when harm is happening.' If you're socialized to downplay your feelings, it's harder to know when harm is happening.That's part of what emergent strategy is inviting, there are things happening at these micro scales, like the scale of a relationship between a mother and a daughter. There are these lessons that we can extrapolate and scale for movements as a whole. But if we don't understand that the fundamental unit of change is relationship, then it will be hard to scale.- Autumn Brown on how emergent strategy (transformative justice as resilience) shows up in parenting.

Organizers in Space: What Movement Organizing & Space Exploration Can Learn From One Another
Autumn was recently invited to take part in a really fun, mind-bending panel called Organizers in Space. The event was co-hosted by Annie Weinberg, electoral organizer, coach, and strategist for progressive campaigns along with The Movement School and the Forge.
You can watch the entire event HERE.
Building a more just, reflective democracy and landing a spacecraft on another planet are both epic, deeply collective human endeavors - and practitioners of both crafts faced huge tests in 2020 and 2021. In the midst of a global pandemic, a reckoning around white supremacist violence, racialized capitalism, and what it means to have a truly reflective democracy - what can movement organizing and space exploration teach each other right now? With the recent successful Mars Perseverance Mission Landing as a jumping-off point, and pulling from some of the ideas of Octavia Butler, the visionary writer and now the namesake of the official landing site on Mars, we discuss what these crafts have in common.?
We talk about predictable emergencies, radical imagination, and contingency planning; about creating structures that unearth collective genius, to do things that may have not been done before; about scalability, effective metric-setting, and competing priorities; about holding on to a sense of awe, in the face of challenges and unknowabilities, and about what it means to, as JPL?s slogan says, ?Dare Mighty Things?.?
Anoa Changa moderates this amazing conversation featuring Cj Giovingo and Autumn Brown. CJ is an organizer-turned-rocket-scientist and Jet Propulsion Lab systems engineer, who served as NASA/JPL?s Entry, Descent and Landing Activity Lead for Perseverance.

The Brown sisters are back with a new season and this one will include some fundamental practices that help us survive and may help our listeners.adrienne spent the last decade on a learning journey with generative somatics, learning about healing trauma in and through the body.

The sisters speak with students at Dartmouth about the political potency of this moment in context of our histories, uplifting lessons from our ancestors, this uprising time, finding our work and saving what we love.
note: adrienne critiques the term 'people of color' in this episode, and to be clear, she is speaking not of the phrase in its original purpose of solidarity, but of the collapsing use of the phrase to erase the nuance of distinct cultural experiences.

Guest Podcast: Tomi Adeyemi Crafts Fantastic Worlds with Words
Before we come back with a full fall slate of episodes, we want to share this episode of Your Attention Please from Hulu and IHeartRadio.
In 2019, Tomi Adeyemi followed up her best-selling debut novel, Children of Blood and Bone, with another installment in the Legacy of Orïsha series, Children of Virtue and Vengeance. Readers have fallen in love with Adeyemi's stories, which are magical and transporting but also so resonant in today's world. In this episode, Kimberly chats with Tomi about believing your dreams are possible, having the right people on your team, and bad spinoffs. And, naturally, Tomi has all the best metaphors for life.
