    The Fill Up: Love
    Nov 13 2023

    This week Tashiena and Natalie talk about Love and Jesus and Love and more Jesus. What does it mean to live into love in action? How do we stretch ourselves to love even those who may be the hardest for us to love? And, then how do we see people through the worst things they may have done, into the roots of what caused the harms and into who they are today--transformed and worthy. All the while remembering to return to the well to fill ourselves up so we can get through the get through. We swear a little in this episode.

    More than our Wrongs
    Nov 6 2023

    On this episode of Love and Life, we welcome two of our dear friends and comrades in the liberation struggle--Lawanda Hollister and Peter Martel. Both served way too much time in Michigan's prisons and they stay in the movement work for the freedom of the folks they left behind. Tashiena dives into Dr. King's Letter from Birmingham Jail as a guidepost for our conversation about standing steady, ready, and full even when people keep revisiting the worst days of our lives. Come on over and join us for a heart steadying conversation.
