Exploring transformative ways of healing ain't spooky. Repairing the harms of the past ain't spooky. Creating a just, equitable future ain't spooky. It just takes Radical Imagination.

In this season (and past ones), we continue to lift up visionaries and changemakers who remind us that a new world is not only possible — it is indeed happening all around us. We began with Prentis Hemphill, founder of the Embodiment Institute, whose work focuses on healing through a holistic approach that centers justice and liberation of the mind, body, and community. We then highlight the growing movement in our country to reconnect Indigenous and Black people with land and property that was stolen from them or their ancestors. We speak with Clyde Prout III, chairman of the Colfax Todd’s Valley Consolidated Tribe in California, who tells the remarkable story of how his tribe reclaimed land, stolen by the government nearly half a century ago. And Kavon Ward, poet, activist, and the founder of 'Where is My Land? talks to us about the landmark victory around Justice for Bruce's Beach in Southern California. Her efforts, along with others, provide blueprints for policy changes that could pave the way for reparations nationwide. 

Moving beyond our national borders, we look at The World Reimagined, a racial justice initiative in the United Kingdom (UK) that beautifully illustrates that art can help heal our historical wounds and inform our collective future. Our Repatriation episode centers two Black American women in Ghana who boldly sought a different life outside the racism that permeates American society, while providing pathways for others to do the same. 

In the most recent episode of Radical Imagination, Great Resignation or Great Revolution, we speak with Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won’t Love You Back, and Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage about what it means to have a healthy relationship with work, and the ways people are radically redefining the role of work in their lives.

Take a moment to listen to their stories, and the ways they continue to push us to envision and realize a new and better world. Coming soon are our last two episodes: Alternatives to 9-1-1, and Afrofuturism and Housing Justice. In the meantime, please share Radical Imagination with your people!  Thank you for being fearless and joining us on this journey.
