The Unity Project

Hello people of the world, and welcome back. Oh, I have missed you. Season 4 of The Unity Project is kicking off with an incredible interview with the author of My Government Means to Kill Me, Rasheed Newson. "My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced, coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young, gay, Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning." I learned so much reading his book and talking with him on the podcast about the AIDS crisis, and practical ways we can do so much better.

Hello, my dear internet friends! This week I got to interview Brian Sonia-Wallace, the West Hollywood Poet Laureate, Harper Collins Author, and one of the most creative/ unique people I've ever gotten to talk to.  In 2012, Brian set up a typewriter on the street with a sign that said “Poetry Store” and accidentally started their business: RENT Poet. Over 5,000 poems later, their book of essays, The Poetry of Strangers, profiles the communities they've written for across America, and the desperate desire to be listened to and heard that they found. Excerpts have been published in The Guardian and Rolling Stone, and they've been the official Writer in Residence for unlikely clients from Amtrak to the Mall of America. I got to talk with this incredible human about what it was like traveling America with a typewriter, meeting countless strangers, and talking about what they need.  We also talked about Brian's story of how they became who they are today, how their relationship with their body has grown over the years through outlets like bodybuilding and theatre, and what it means to be a poet.

Hello friends! Today I have an episode that felt like a holiday to record. Truly. I had the honor of chatting with Sofia Lapuente and Jarrod Shusterman, NYT best selling YA romance/thriller authors. We got to talk about their writing process when it comes to character development, and how being connected to themselves plays a role in that. Sofia is from Spain and had so much to share regarding the differences in pressure on the bodies in Spain versus America. Jarrod talked about his experience growing up as a wrestler, and the pressures put on young bodies in that culture.  I had so much fun interviewing them, and can't wait for you all to listen.

Today I had the honor of chatting with Sierra Holland, an apprentice midwife, full-spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and reproductive advocate. Sierra had so much important wisdom to share with us on how to support marginalized people in healthcare better. We talked a lot about the oppression of families made up of LGBTQIA+ and nonbinary individuals, black indigenous and people of color, and other marginalized groups.  She also has a PhD in sociology, is a roller skater, and is one of the most interesting people I've talked to here.  After talking with her, I feel like a changed human being and can't wait to share this conversation.

Hello friends! For this week's episode, I had the honor of interviewing an incredible author, Jonathan Parks-Ramage.

His writing has been widely published in such outlets as VICE, Slate, OUT Magazine, W Magazine, Atlas Obscura, Elle, and Medium.  On the episode, Jonathan gives us a peek into the world of writing his novel, Yes, Daddy, and how he used truth to write fiction. The book is an exploration of class, power dynamics, and the nuances of victimhood and complicity. Personally, I couldn't put it down.  He also shares his story about spirituality and talks about ways that the evangelical church is extremely harmful. Incredible interview. Enjoy!
