  • an enlightening experience

    to be brief, this podcast is an amazing opportunity to expand perspective, to ground yourself in the perspectives that seek to support historically marginalized and oppressed communities. it asks some important questions and doesn't impose answers and for that, it is one of my favs!!

  • a must listen for all

    Niki’s timing is impeccable and brilliant. Each episodes ushers us into the important and pressing conversations we need to have with ourselves and with each other in community. Tracing the organizing and intellectual traditions of our elders, Niki unmoors the realities of our present and asks us to imagine more for ourselves. I can’t think of a better podcast to listen to. It brings me joy, laughter, wisdom while also guiding me into a reflective moment after each episode. Truly amazing.
