POWER NOT PITY: A podcast for disabled people of color everywhere

In this episode of The Imagination Desk, we sit down with cultural producer, performer, and inclusion expert Claudia Alick.

The LEDIA Talkspace held on June 21, 2023, focused on the topic of healing from colonizer illness through the utilization of the 6 C’s: curiosity, creativity, collaboration, connection, clarity, and consistency. Facilitated by Matthew Reynolds, with support from the Calling Up Justice practice, the conversation delved into the adverse effects of supremacy culture and toxic belief systems, emphasizing the importance of these 6 C’s in the healing process.

Calling up Justice member Jesenia @NeuroSpicyNetworking was featured on Beyond Deconstructing Podcast. In this episode of Beyond Deconstructing, host Tierra had an electrifying conversation with Jesenia, founder of the NeuroSpicy Networking and One Free Community. We dive into how intersectionality plays a role in how often women of color are not seen or represented in the conversation about autism. We also explain how the colonial mindset and all of it’s children (the ISMs – racism, sexism, capitalism, ableism, etc.) impact all of us, but especially the most marginalized among us.

On May 10th, Matthew Reynolds and Trena Fields hosted a Liberated Equity Diversity Inclusion Accessibility (LEDIA) Let’s Talk on Clubhouse with Claudia Alick. The topic of discussion was “Defining ourselves for ourselves.” They shared a quote by Lorde, “If I didn’t define myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive”. This podcast is 65 minutes in length.

Matthew Reynolds produces a weekly talkspace on the topics of liberation, equity, diversity and inclusion. We support the space by participating and archiving some of our conversations. Listen to the replays like a podcast or join the clubhouse room to join in live for the conversation!

Rooms like this fill our cups after Republican propaganda and intimidating public performances empty it. We need spaces to talk about it all. This is what democracy looks like! Join us next Wednesday for more liberated equity diversity and inclusion talk.
