Thank you for joining me, your host and visual artist Vanessa Albury, on my journey as a better ally to people and steward of the environment in podcast form as The Power We Hold!

In episode 2 I share an experience I had with another creative on a residency where my food scarcity and emotional baggage around that collies with a trans person's journey with racism and colonialism. Caleb Williams and I discuss how to navigate self-examination, Call In vs Call Out Culture, knowing oneself and sensitivity to the trauma from repeated and continuous confrontations experienced by our LGBTQAI+, BIPOC and non-normative brained and bodied  friends, family and strangers. I hope it provides you with food for thought in your interactions with others when there's more to their story than may meet the eye.

Originally recorded Oct 23, 2021 in Brooklyn, NY
