Rising For Our Motherlands is a podcast series about our love for our homelands, our people, and each other. Our pilot season draws connections from Palestine to The Philippines, and illuminates our interconnected struggles in our homelands and as people in diaspora.

In this series we will dig deep into our roots as artists and organizers, building political resistance to oppression, granddaughters of survivors, daughters of diaspora and dreamers committed to freedom for our peoples, and the land. Each episode will explore a theme from how we got inspired to take action in our communities, to the histories of anti-colonial struggle in our motherland -- from the islands known as the Philippines to Palestine. We will talk about strategies for community care and the demands to return to our motherlands, share stories from our families, memories, lessons from our lineages, and get real about what’s happening overseas and in the diaspora right now.

Rising For Our Motherlands weaves together music, poetry, memories and stories with artists, community organizers and leaders, educators, farmworkers, mothers, comrades and kasamas... people who rise for our motherlands every day in small ways, through embodiment, imagination, practice, and direct action.

A huge thank you to Salma Taleb, Hesham Jarmakani, Francesca Juico, Chris Wanis, and Carmelo Ibanez for our beautiful theme music and to our co-conspirator & We Rise producer Cat Petru for weaving our voices and songs together.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
