In this timeless, we explore the “ladder” - the system of hierarchies that tells us which bodies are worthy and which are not. From racism, ableism and capitalism to beauty standards and perfectionism, the ladder keeps us climbing for external validation and always leaves us feeling not enough. Radical self-love offers another way. It asks us to step off the ladder, to revisit the stories that placed us on it and to begin divesting from the messages that keep us trapped. It calls us back to our inherent worth, our divinity and our wholeness. Sonya Renee Taylor Sonya lays out her radical self-love vision. She is a New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned activist and thought leader on racial justice, body liberation and transformational change, international award winning artist, and founder of The Body Is Not an Apology (TBINAA), a global digital media and education company exploring the intersections of identity, healing, and social justice through the framework of radical self-love.  This is not easy work, but it is possible through honesty, community, grace and a willingness to embrace our own complexity. And as we do it, we create the conditions not only to free ourselves, but to dismantle the ladder for everyone. We hope this short piece roots softly in your body.   For links and more, visit www.allthatweare.org

Cracker Barrel has long been a roadside favorite, a place for biscuits, rocking chairs, and a slice of nostalgia. But today the chain is at the center of a high-stakes corporate fight. Activist investor Sardar Biglari is challenging Cracker Barrel's leadership, arguing that the company has wasted money, lost touch with its customers, and needs a drastic overhaul. His plan is blunt: cut waste, sell off weak side ventures, fix operations, and return money to shareholders.At the same time, customers are grumbling about smaller portions, slower service, and management that seems disconnected from the brand's roots. Analysts have turned cold, with no buy ratings left on the stock. And looming over it all are the power brokers at BlackRock and Vanguard, whose votes will decide the outcome.Lena Marlowe and Graham Calder unpack what this battle means for Cracker Barrel and for the future of legacy American brands.

What can a story of the building of a community bridge teach us today as we struggle to find common ground? The answer, of course, is more than you can imagine, and then some.And in this episode of Art is Change, we'll hear the story of just one of the many, many examples we can learn from.Now, in this episode You'll hear How one bold question sparked a mural project, reflecting a flood of voices and connection across race, age, and geography. And how that mural project morphed from a visual illusion into a bridge between worlds.And finally, when a forgotten commitment led to the mural's loss, how a community's response became a powerful act of healing and recovery. This show is all about how art can heal, unite, and even kickstart conversations that matter. Plus, we'll chat about a little hiccup in the project's journey, when the mural faced some serious neglect, and how the community rallied to give it a second chance. Get ready, because this isn't just art – it's a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity!

This week, meet Happy Activist Gabri Blankson, who is using film to illuminate teen mental health. Her award-winning short film MIME, created through the Black Girls Film Camp, explores the emotional impact of pandemic isolation through a fantasy lens, using mimes as metaphors for internal struggles.

She also developed a downloadable viewers guide to help audiences interpret emotional cues and access mental health resources — proving that storytelling can be both healing and transformative. What you'll learn: How Gabri used metaphor and fantasy to express complex emotional experiences. What led her to focus on the challenges of mental health and isolation during the pandemic. How she developed her viewers' guide — and how it enhances emotional awareness and encourages open dialogue.

On this episode, we speak with Dara Baldwin, activist, scholar, and author with over twenty years of experience in policy and social justice work. Since President Donald Trump's federal takeover of the District of Columbia, new attention falls onto the Free D.C. movement.  D.C. residents lack full voting representation in Congress and their local laws are subject to congressional oversight. The “Free D.C.” movement advocates for D.C. statehood, granting the district full representation and autonomy. Dara also sits on the advisory council for Free DC, a movement led by the people of the District of Columbia to exert their right to self-determination.

If you're a cultural worker navigating the messy, magical middle ground of art and activism, who's taking care of you?Now, if you've been with us over the last two episodes, you'll know we've been tackling what we call the building blocks of effective community arts practice—those foundational elements that help artists not just make meaningful work, but do so in ways that are ethical, sustainable, and rooted in justice.In Episode 1, we explored Accountability: To whom, and for what, are we truly responsible in our work?In Episode 2, we examined Leadership: How do cultural workers lead without domination, and how do they grow others in the process?And today, we turn inward—to a topic that is as personal as it is political: self-care.Because the truth is, being a cultural activist is not just a calling—it's also exhausting. In this conversation, my partners-in-crime—artist and historian Leni Sloan and cultural organizer Barbara Shaffer Bacon—and I dive into the real and raw question: How do we sustain ourselves in this work?We'll talk about the material needs often left unmet—like housing, healthcare, childcare—and why self-care isn't just bubble baths, it's a structural necessity. We'll share stories about burnout, soul-feeding practices, and what it means to build and rely on an ecosystem of mutual care.And as always, we're not just reflecting—we're passing on what we've learned over a collective century of practice. So whether you're a parade leader, a prickly cactus, or a builder of the long tail, we hope this episode gives you room to breathe, reflect, and reimagine what sustainability can look like in the world of community-based art.Let's get into it.Great!

Sid Rosenberg talks with entrepreneur and activist Samantha Ettus about her life, political views, and passion for defending Israel. Ettus shares the devastating loss of her home and community in the Pacific Palisades due to wildfires—blaming local government failures—and discusses her plans to return to New York once her youngest finishes high school. The conversation turns political, with sharp criticism of NYC Mayor Eric Adams, skepticism of pro-Adams endorsements (especially from Bill Ackman), and concern over mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
