#imaginetheimpossible

The podcast Seismic Airwaves did an episode with me about imagining just futures amid disaster.
They also put out a bonus episode of me reading my poem about Hurricane Katrina “Wade in the Water.”
Both are available now!

“The reality is that folks of color in the United States, and globally, have been living disasters and apocalypses for centuries. It only gets categorized as a disaster when it begins to affect white people, white structures.” - Walidah Imarisha

EPISODE 10: Imagining Futures Amid Disasters (Walidah Imarisha)
- - - - -
Sabina talks with @walidahimarisha - writer, educator, poet, organizer, and public scholar. If you haven’t listened to her #SpokenWord piece about #HurricaneKatrina yet, have a listen now (bonus episode). Then check out this week’s episode for the very timely conversation about narratives of #Disaster and the many forces at play during the dual pandemics of #Coronavirus and white supremacy. They discuss the conceptualization of crises and disasters and the importance of imagining the impossible in order to #FightOppression
