This episode on practicing politics features Nelini Stamp from Working Families Party, Rev angel Kyodo williams author of Radical Dharma, Anasa Troutman of the Big We and Carinne Luck, a well known organizer and activist.What I learned from this conversation is that building a politics of care is multidimensional. It’s telling a new story of who we are and who we are becoming, it’s building community depth and power wherever you are, it’s going up against old systems of oppression even while we dream up new systems of liberation. And it’s doing the internal work of decolonizing and deconstructing our own beliefs so that we can live into our greatest potential together.This is the practice of politics that is internal and external, that is individual and collective, that is cultural and systemic, that is tactical and transformative, that is resistant and imaginative. And as Nelini reminds us, we can be all those things. And we need to.

Shortly after the disbanding of Earthseed Khari began to play with then Naked Music recording artist Gaelle, and remained an in demand bassist playing alongside the likes of Donnie, Roy Ayers, Gaelle, Russel Gunn and eventually signing on as India Arie's bassist in early 2000. When India.Aire was offered the opening act for Sade's Lover's Rock tour, she didn't hesitate to invite Khari to join her on the road and after the three month tour, Khari was asked to become a full-time member of her band. As a recording artist Khari has garnered a reputation for crafting Brazilian-influenced soul sounds via his band Jiva and now in his solo career. Khari's collaborations on his many musical projects have included work with Monday Michiru, Bluey of Incognito, Cecelia Stalin of Koop, Chantae Cann, Brenda Nicole Moorer , Grant Green Junior and Sabrina Malheiros.

Check it out! ctznwell.org/ctznpodcast @ctznwell #loveactivist #joy #justice #radicalloveMore about this episode:I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this one thing Anasa said in our conversation: “You can’t transform something that you don’t love.”And as someone deeply committed to personal and collective transformation, it had me reflecting on how I love. Not, how I do more activism or be a better ally, but how do I love for real? That too is justice. Justice calls us not only to correct whatever is in the way of love, but it also invites us to live into that love.And that inquiry starts with self-love. Because how we love ourselves IS how we love everyone else. But the truth is, we live in a culture that does not reinforce self-love. It says love yourself only when you are smarter, healthier, more productive, more perfect. We are taught that love is conditional and so it’s no wonder that we project conditional love to others and make choices that are not loving to the whole of humanity.But when we can claim radical love for ourselves - the kind that is expressed through grace and compassion and forgiveness - then we can start to extend that kind of love outwards in relationship, in how we repair the breach and love across lines of difference and disagreement and in how we love through our choices, through our votes and especially through our money.Anasa reminds us that love is not some idea or intention. Love is who we are and what we do. And when we embody that kind of love fully, then justice and joy will flow. This conversation is a reminder and realignment with the very thing that is most important and essential to our work: LOVE.
