While we had some exciting episodes ready for release this month, we feel like it's best to put those on pause and offer some conversations that can be helpful during this time in quarantine. In today's episode, Charis calls in Ellen Stackable. Ellen is the co-founder of Poetic Justice that offers restorative writing and creative arts programs to women who are incarcerated. As you may have heard, people who are incarcerated are getting hit with COVID-19 just as hard as the rest of us, but are limited to options that will keep them safe or treat them. In this conversation, Charis discusses what Poetic Justice looks like during this time, and Ellen offers us some guidance on how to live with Radical Generosity during COVID-19.
