Bridging Resistance Radio: Episode 10 (Relationship to Place, part 2)

racialized the podcast

This episode is a continuation of the conversations we started on our relationships to 'place'; which encompasses our relationship to the land we live on, the people we are surrounded by, and the culture, believes and ways of being that exist wherever we are. This episode explores these relationships to 'place' through poetry, conversations between close friends, and candid answers from citizens in Thunder Bay. Tune in to hosts Sarah and Farah as they discuss their understanding of their relationships to Thunder Bay, a community poem from 20 citizens of Thunder Bay about our shared home, and brilliant poets from Poetry Against Racism. Bridging Resistance is an intergenerational storytelling project that amplifies the voices of Indigenous and racialized peoples through radio to foster deep listening and understanding and critical reflection on a personal and community level as a means to address the ongoing impacts of colonialism, racism and exclusion in Thunder Bay, Fort William First Nation and beyond. This radio project is a collaborative effort between a volunteer programmer named Jayal Chung who hosts and produces Queer Radio Hour; Farah Ahmed, host and producer of Racialized the Podcast and Advocacy Coordinator for Racialized Young Professionals Network; and Sarah Nelson, a community advocate who currently works with Matawa First Nations.
