Welcome back to Rise and Rouse! First, some housekeeping. After much consideration, all interview episodes will be brought back from behind the paywall. Paid subscribers will still receive special content, but we felt it was important that everyone have access to guest conversations so that their expertise and perspective can be heard.
On today’s episode, I’m joined by Emerald Anderson Ford, a friend, activist, colleague, former Rise and Rouse guest, and co-founder of The Liberation Nexus Lab. We took this opportunity to dialogue about the history of Juneteenth, how we observe it, and what it means to be in deep, authentic connection with eachother. It is only through that connection that we can truly get free and find mutual liberation.
