Episode Transcript
Hi, my name is David Ryan, arsega, castro,
harris, all five names for allthe ancestors, and it's been a
long time since I've said thosewords into a microphone.
Next week, in this podcast feed, I'll tell you a little bit
more about what's been going onin my absence and what you can
expect here in this feed movingforward.
But today I wanted to share alittle bit about what's going to
(00:28):
happen over the next coupledays as I restart this specific
project.
In the work of Amplify RJ, it'salways good to look back on
what's happened, and so, formultiple reasons, I'll be
sharing in a separate episode inthis feed, our very first
episode of this podcast, aconversation with my mentor, my
elder, my OG in this work,cheryl Graves.
(00:50):
It's the very first episodethat was posted in this feed,
it's our most downloaded episodeand it's a really great
conversation to explore theapplications of restorative
justice, both in the criminal,legal sense, but also how it can
embody every part of your lifeand the relationships that you
have.
And so, as I'm restarting thisproject, it was important for me
to recenter on that.
(01:11):
But it was also important forme to include the conversation
with Cheryl because, as some ofyou may know she had a stroke
this past summer and is not ableto have conversations in the
same way, so I wanted to put herwords out there again as a
reminder to myself and to sharewith so many of you who have not
had the pleasure to get to bewith her and meet with her.
Learn from her directly.
(01:34):
I'm also going to be posting alink to the GoFundMe to support
her home health care.
So if you have the means,please go and support.
That means.
Please go and support thatNovember is the month that
contains National RestorativeJustice Week, and so, to kick
that off, I'll also be sharingtwo other episodes from the
archives on November 1 and 2.
(01:56):
November 1 and 2, depending onwhat your culture is, are known
as Day of the Dead, dia de losMuertos, all Saints Day and on
those two days we'll be honoringtwo members of the restorative
justice community who made theirtransitions this summer Eric
Butler and Ted Lewis.
I'll be sharing more about eachof them individually on the
(02:17):
Days there episode, so staytuned to this feed for those
things.
Like I said, next week I'll besharing more about what's been
going on and what you can expecthere in the future, but for now
.
I'm very excited to be back incommunity with you in this
particular way and I hope you'llbe along for the ride.

(02:38):
