Join in and listen to my conversation with Lutze Segu, the Social Justice Doula.  Together, we discuss the barriers that exist between us when discussing difficult topics such as Race.   "My different roles as an activist, social worker, organizer, and racial justice facilitator have all collided in a beautiful role I am now describing as a social justice doula. I have been able to marry my knowledge, experience, and expertise into one seamless role. As a social justice doula, I facilitate racial justice workshops, provide strategic HR consulting for organizations, and offer feminist coaching to individuals." https://www.lutzesegu.com/ Insta: @SocialJusticeDoula Twitter: @FeministGriote

Humanity Grab Bag + Discussion Questions : Forgiveness

Emilio is joined by Joe Chambers of Nebraska Strong Recovery Project. Sometimes Nebraskans have to recover from storms and floods. The heroic phase of disaster response (sandbagging and people pulling together) is often followed by a period of disillusionment (disappointment with aid and coping with clean up). Reconstruction takes time – and can be stressful. The Public Policy Center works to provide crisis counseling assistance, create public service announcements (print and radio), and educational materials (in English and Spanish). Listen in to hear the human side of the current effects of, what a National Public Radio article describes as '"The "bomb cyclone" that swept through the Midwest this week has caused more than $1 billion of flood damage in Nebraska, the state's governor said Wednesday. At least three people have been killed in Nebraska and Iowa. Heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt have caused catastrophic flooding across the Missouri River Basin, and three-fourths of Nebraska's 93 counties have declared an emergency, Gov. Pete Ricketts said. The cost of the damage has surpassed $1.3 billion, state officials said, according to The Associated Press. That includes $449 million in damage to roads, levees and other infrastructure; $440 million in crop losses; and $400 million in cattle losses.'  

The Human Side of Flood Disaster in the Midwest

This is the fight for our humanity. Join me, Emilio, a Midwest Social Worker and national educator, as I wade through today's cultural hotpoints to highlight the humanity in all of us. With expertise and curiosity we'll address politics, culture, religion, and much more. From expert interviews to thoughtful prompts, I want the world to learn to see what I see. I want the world to witness humanity.
