Estoy cansada Estoy harta de ver y de tocar los dos lados de las cosas Harta de ser el puente para todo el mundo Nadie puede hablar con nadie sin mi ayuda ¿no? Le explico mi mamá a mi papá mi papá a mi hermanita mi hermanita a mi hermano mi hermano a las feministas blancas las feministas blancas a la gente negra de la iglesia la gente negra de la iglesia a los ex hippies los ex hippies a los separatistas negros los separatistas negros a los artistas los artistas a los padres de mis amigos Después me tengo que explicar a mí misma a todo el mundo Traduzco más que las Naciones Unidas Déjenme de joder Estoy harta Estoy harte de llenarles los espacios en blanco Harta de ser su seguro contra el aislamiento de las limitaciones que ustedes mismos se imponen Harta de ser la loca en las fiestas Harta de ser la rara en el almuerzo del domingo Harta de ser la única amiga negra de 34 personas blancas Búsquense otra conexión con el resto del mundo Búsquense a otra que los haga sentirse legítimos Búsquense otra manera de ser politizados y cool No pienso ser el puente a su feminidad a su masculinidad a su humanidad Estoy harta de recordarles que no se cierren mucho por demasiado tiempo Estoy harta de mediar con la peor versión de ustedes en nombre de sus mejores versiones Estoy harta de tener que recordarles que respiren antes de ahogarse en su propia boludez Olvídense Amóldense o ahóguense Evolucionen o muéranse El puente que tengo que ser es el puente a mis propias fuerzas Tengo que traducir mis propios miedos Mediar con mis propias debilidades Tengo que ser el puente a ninguna parte salvo a la que soy de verdad y entonces voy a ser útil

The Colin McEnroe Show has an Election Day tradition of celebrating voters by inviting "citizen observers" from around the state to share their experience with voting. An ongoing pandemic and tensions stemming from a deeply divided electorate make this a year like no other. People nationwide are working hard to make sure their vote is counted. They're voting early, they're waiting hours in line, and some are flying "home" to vote in-person to ensure their vote is counted. Election Day still has the power to inspire and make me hopeful that we're more united than some would have us believe. Call us today at (888) 720-9677 with your Election Day stories. We'll take as many calls as we can. GUESTS: Alicia Cobb is a visual artist and art instructor in Bridgeport. Madi Csejka is a 23-year-old voter living in Orange.

We hold monthly workshops on important intersectionality ideas. These workshops provide time and space to discuss, share, and reflect upon our teaching practices with our colleagues. This episode is about our most recent workshop.We defined different types of labor and discussed their significance. We then invited teachers and staff to think about the different types of labor they do for others as well as the types of labor they willingly accept and expect from others. We spent time reading about and discussing two significant topics: the labor women do for men and the labor women of color, specifically black women, do for white women. In doing this, we read from Virginia Woolf, Rachel Cargle, Kate Rushin, and Nellie Wong. We are grateful to these women for their labor and recognize that we can do this work because of the work they have done for us.Questions to consider:1. Why is it important that teachers understand, recognize, and honor different kinds of labor?2. What types of labor do we expect from our students? What types of labor are expected of us as teachers?3. Why is it important that we teacher our students about different types of labor and to honor different types of labor?Support the show (https://theorymeetspracticepod.blogspot.com/)

On the first segment of today’s show, host Tom Breen is joined by Connecticut poet Kate Rushin to talk about two movies that have had a profound influence on her understanding and love of cinema: DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST, a landmark 1991 drama from director Julie Dash about three generations of African American Gullah women from the Sea Islands of South Carolina, a movie often celebrated as the first feature film directed by an African American woman to get a wide theatrical release in the United States; and we’ll also talk about BLACK ORPHEUS, a 1959 musical from French director Marcel Camus that adapts the classical Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to the vibrant, samba-suffused streets of Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro during Carnival.On the second segment of the show, Breen and the New Haven Independent’s Allan Appel review THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, a new ensemble dramedy from director Martin McDonagh that follows a grieving, defiant mother seeking justice for her murdered child in a small town in the Ozark mountains of southern Missouri.

On the first segment of today’s show, host Tom Breen talks with New Haven Review publisher Bennett-Lovett Graff all about movie adaptations of works of literature: what makes for a good movie adaptation of a novel, short story, or play? What are some of the challenges and benefits of making that transition from printed page to screen? What are a few examples of our favorite literary adaptations? This conversation focuses in particular on one such literary adaptation, The Dead, a 1987 film directed by John Huston and adapted from the 1914 short story by James Joyce. On the second segment of the show, Breen is joined by Connecticut-based poet and teacher Kate Rushin to talk about A Quiet Passion, Terence Davies’ new biopic about 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson. Although not a direct adaptation of any particular written work, A Quiet Passion offers another perspective on representing literature through movies in the way that it closely interweaves Dickinson’s poetry with her life, underscoring her preoccupations with fame, truth, beauty, and death.

From star dancer to founder of New Haven’s beloved Bowen-Peters dance school to black feminist activist to distinguished professor, Angela Bowen has had many influential identities, and in each one, she has encouraged all around her— particularly here in New Haven—to reach their fullest potentials and embrace their true selves. This panel discussion among individuals who knew and were inspired by Angela honors not only Angela’s legacy in New Haven and beyond, but also the conviction threading through her multifaceted journey: self expression at any price.
