Anne and Alison interview Adrian Alexander and Juleus Ghunta, community managers of the ACEs Caribbean Community, raising awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and promoting Protective Factors, Positive Experiences, Hope, and Resilience throughout the Caribbean. They are working to inform and transform their region to see more empowered, trauma-informed, and resilient people, families, communities, organisations, and nations. Adrian and Juleus share about their trauma-informed anti-violence work in the Caribbean, including healing the wounds of boy children, who often are overlooked when we focus on gender-based violence. Juleus shares an excerpt from his recent book and poetry so good that it will capture even those who are thinking "I'm just not into poetry."  Juleus Ghunta is a Chevening Scholar, children's writer, a member of Jamaica's National Task Force on Character Education, and an advocate in the Caribbean's Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) movement. Ghunta holds a BA in Media from The University of the West Indies, Mona, and an MA in Peace Studies from the University of Bradford, UK. His work explores the links between toxic stress and academic underachievement, and the varied effects of false positivity and emotional invalidation on the choices and hopes of survivors of complex trauma. His poems and essays on ACEs have appeared in 30+ journals across 16 countries. His picture book, Tata and the Big Bad Bull, was published by CaribbeanReads in 2018, and he is the co-editor of the December 2019 and March 2020 issues of Interviewing the Caribbean (The UWI Press), focused on children's literature and ACEs in the Caribbean. He is also the co-editor of a special issue of PREE magazine on ACEs and storytelling (Dec. 2021). Ghunta's new book, Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story About ACEs and Hope, was published by CaribbeanReads on December 31, 2021. His Notebook of Words and Ideas, which features prominently in Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows, will be published by Dreamright in 2022. Adrian Alexander is an ACEs movement community leader based in Trinidad and Tobago.Show notes.

Ant Brown goes by a number of titles — father, community activist, motivational speaker, youth engager and rapper. His style of rap is a little different from the rap culture that's widely popularized, and it's the reason he's become a role model to hundreds of kids across the city. KYW Newsradio's Antionette Lee has more on the "ABRO Experience."

This week we re-air an interview done with Aishah Shahidah Simmons, who is a writer, community organizer, prison abolitionist, and cultural worker who has done just an immense amount of work over the years to help disrupt and end the patterns of sexual abuse and assault within marginalized communities. In this interview we talk about a lot of things, her background and how she came to be doing the work shes doing right now, how better to think about concepts like accountability, what doing this work has been like for her as an out lesbian woman, and about her book Love WITH Accountability, Digging Up the Roots of Childhood Sexual Abuse which was published in 2019 from AK Press. This interview feels very important right now, because we are in a time of overturn, tumult, stress, and uncertainty, and I think that in order for us to really be able to knuckle down and go in this for the long haul itll be imperative for our radical communities to take solid care of ourselves and of each other. I hope you get as much out of hearing Aishah's words as I did conducting and editing this interview. Before we get started, as a content notice: we will be talking about some difficult topics in this interview. I will do my best to repeat this notice at regular intervals, but please do take care and treat yourself kindly (however that looks).

Jennifer Patterson is a grief worker who uses plants, breath, and words to explore survivorhood, body(ies), and healing.  As a queer and trans affirming herbalist and breathwork facilitator, Jennifer has built an inclusive, sliding scale one-on-one practice called Corpus Ritual, and she also holds group workshops at healing spaces, LGBTQ centers, a needle exchange and harm reduction clinic, veterans hospitals, on college campuses, and online. She is the editor of "Queering Sexual Violence: Radical Voices from Within the Anti- Violence Movement" (2016) and the creative nonfiction editor of Hematopoiesis Press.  In this beautifully transparent conversation, Jennifer discusses her surrender to the psychedelic healing process after years of destructive patterns rooted in past trauma. She talks about her experience with iboga, mother of all entheogens, the somatic imprint of trauma, the dark magic of alcohol, the predation of the “healing industrial complex,” the legacy of free and sliding scale work, and how to grow the parts of ourselves that are ok despite all our wounds. “For those of us who have lost faith in the world, in a god, these are ways that we can gain some faith back, and they’re body-based. It’s in ourselves. We get to connect to our own spirit. And spirit at large, too.” Find Jennifer’s beautiful writing and her herb shop at www.corpusritual.com and hematopoiesispress.com and on instagram @corpusritual.

In addition to addressing violence, we want to provide a space for open and respectful dialogue, sharing of stories, and positive and accurate images of Indigenous women. We want to dismantle systems of oppression and address the root causes of violence and culture that allows it to continue. Wiyabi is Assiniboine for "women". This project was created as a social media campaign to assist in the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization with full tribal provisions.
