  • Eye-opening

    I knew that the Chinese community in Chico, California, where I went to high school, had been forced out, but I didn’t know how many other Chinese communities in California endured this fate.

    I knew about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, but I deluded myself that that type of prejudice was all in the past.

    Thank you, Dr. Jeung, for your thought-provoking presentation in Episode 2 of the Madang podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Madang Podcast: Liza Rankow, Ep. 63
Q: So can you say a little bit about that? And then you also tie that in with microcosm and macrocosm, the individual to the collective.
There is a deep interconnection between our personal healing and our collective liberation; healing of self and healing of community are bound up together, where our trauma and wisdom are shared to support broader social transformation.
Madang Podcast: Liza Rankow, Ep. 63
Q: But before we dig in there, I thought maybe we'll begin with, you began an organization, OneLife Institute. So if you can share a little bit about that work that concluded, and also your work on Howard Thurman audio collection.
The common thread is the integration of spirituality and social action, with OneLife Institute serving the Oakland community and beyond for close to 20 years through retreats and workshops, then pivoting online during COVID, and ultimately resting the project while the work continues in other organizations across the country and world.
Madang Podcast: Kelly Nikondeha, Ep. 59
Q: What role does lament play in their development work?
Lament is a practice that allows people to hold space for collective pain (such as a market fire), and from that shared grief emerges practical, innovative solutions to restore livelihoods and enable people to rejoin the economy.
Madang Podcast: Kelly Nikondeha, Ep. 59
Q: How does the bank in Burundi implement Jubilee principles in its products and policies?
The bank uses shorter loan horizons, zero-dollar account openings, and careful balance requirements to keep people from being locked into debt; it also emphasizes financial literacy and business support to help borrowers grow responsibly and sustain multiple ventures.
Madang Podcast: Kelly Nikondeha, Ep. 59
Q: What is Jubilee, and how does it relate to Burundi today?
Jubilee is a set of economic practices around loans, labor, and land that aims to free people from debt and restore their ability to participate in the economy; in Burundi, this translates into banking products designed to avoid perpetual indebtedness and to re-enter the economy even after setbacks.
