Remaining Unbroken, with chris time steele

The Grounded Futures Show, Episode 25: Remaining Unbroken, with chris time steele

“I've always been a rapper, since I was 12. So that's what I do. And it's the way I communicate best and most vulnerable.”

In their last episode of the season, Uli and carla share a wonderful talk-about with the always inspiring chris time steele!  A dreamer, writer, and poetic historian, chris’ digs into many topics, from Hip Hop to basketball to community organising to breaking apart propaganda to the philosophy and beauty of anime. We also play a game, talk about the importance of curiosity, care, and listening alongside being fearless as we break open and let go. There’s also some impressive freestyle and a fabulous song.
