PerSisters Podcast

In this week's episode, we check in with our perSisters and discuss how social distancing is impacting our lives, tips for others out there, and how we continue to persist during this time.

Dr. Amir calls in for a quick update on the Coronavirus or #COVID19 and talks us through what's changed and why it's okay to order takeout from your favorite local restaurants. Just tell them to leave it on the doorstep! #HomeAlone #Pizza #GetTheHellOuttaHere #Coronavirus

It's been over a year since the PerSisters got together for a conversational podcast. In this episode they cover Coronavirus, Super Tuesday, thoughts on politics, books to read, and what makes us persist despite the nonsense we're constantly up against.

Never released episode from 2019. We were very tired and extremely busy.

PerSisters Podcast returns in March 2020

Four women gather to discuss what's happening in the world, who and what is inspiring us, what's troubling us, and how other perSisters can get involved. In our first episode we are figuring out how this works, getting to know each other, and discovering what kind of show this will be about. We have a smorgasbord of topics from how we ended up meeting and doing this show to the School-to-Prison Pipeline, growing up in an Evangelical Fundamentalist home, immigration, cultural differences and experiences, to what organizations we're involved in right now.
