This month’s Oratio is hosted by a friend and community leader, Rachel Virginia, and is titled “Tattered Gold Flag”. Rachel is a Queer, Black, Nonbinary Human whose insights and words have touched many of us, this episode is no exception; it includes an original poem and its background, which touches on connection and complexity, “hopeful maybe’s”, and places for hope in the midst of so many unknowns. We didn’t plan for Rachel’s episode to be ready for this month in particular, but we’re so happy to celebrate Pride, and the world we’re all working for, with their words. It may not be perfect or clear, but we’re going somewhere together. Find Rachel on Instagram and Twitter at @rachelvirginiah, and connect with Brave Commons on social media at @Bravecommons, or at bravecommons.org.
