Inspiration is everywhere, if we allow ourselves to see it and we allow ourselves to receive it. I was inspired to write this song after hearing the guitar of a homeless man in San Francisco. Thank you Frankie for the inspiration!

I believe in the power of song to create and I am particularly moved by the songs that whales sing. In this episode, I explore the intersection of spoken word to call forth love and the ancient understanding of sound as connection.

In this podcast, environmental activist Christopher Maeda-Pease and I reflect on the socio-economic and political dynamics and issues of the green movement as it pertains to people of color. I met Christopher in 2005 as part of a national biodiesel bus that was touring the country. Since that time, We have been speakers at Bioneers for two years in a row and engage in long discussions about the earth over tea and food he has grown in his garden.

In this podcast, we entertain questions such as is there such a thing as eco-capitalism? Who has access as our resources dwindle? Who is at the table of the environmental movement? Do the definitions of green change depending on where you sit? Does the mainstream environmental movement translate to urban issues and working poor? We discuss environmentalism as part of a larger view of our story as human beings on the planet.

‘What will they say about you?" is a poem that I wrote and recorded with my mother, Carrie in her room in a nursing home facility. She has terminal cancer that has been in remission for a few years now. In September, she had a stroke, impacting her speech and yet, she still shines. She has shown to me time and time again that life does not have to kill your Spirit and that you can use the circumstances of your life to have compassion for yourself and others. My mother is a warrior. You could never swim to the bottom of her love. I am my mother's daughter.
