Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Ryan Jafar Artes, the host of adoptee Open Mic Tuesday zoom events and an award winning poet. We discuss:
- The act of Reparenting ourselves
- And how through the clear lens of sobriety, Ryan chose the community that poured into him.
- We touch on the imperative of supporting younger generations of adoptees,
- Afrofuturism and endofuturism that has inspired a more authentic existence where we can make mistakes and explore numerous outcomes.
- And we talk about what communities make us feel safe.
- Ryan also teaches us how to put our stories down with each other not in each other.
- And we finish with a course on how to give yourself the love language you desire.
