of stomach pains and burning men

In this episode, Kenjus and Tiffani chop it up with Moses Omolade, an educator, spiritual practitioner, and advocate for wellness, to explore the intersections of body, spirit, and community. They dive into Moses’ journey from discovering Pilates as a spiritual practice to using hunger strikes as a radical tool of refusal against systems invested in our undoing.

The conversation unpacks how the body holds memory, the power of spiritual detox as preparation for resistance, and the profound lessons Moses learned during his hunger strike for Oakland schools. Tiffani reflects on her own transformative relationship with movement and freedom, while Kenjus raises questions about the historical weight of embodied resistance and how ancestral wisdom informs his freedom dreaming.

Listen as they break down the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of using one’s body as a site of protest, while offering grounded wisdom on how community and spirituality sustain us in the face of state-sanctioned violence.

In this episode, we also honor and acknowledge our ancestor, Hiram Jamison III. Thank you for your life and your love. Thank you for continuing to guide us.
