I hope you have as much fun listening as we did chatting!

In this episode I have a chance to chat with Kevin A. Patterson, author of Love's Not Colorblind, the foremost book on race and polyamory. Having been tagged in my interviews with Olivia, Kevin felt called to address my comment regarding my mindset of victims and victors. I have a chance to explain my comment further, and Kevin helps me understand how viewing people by this binary idea is a value judgment based on how much we can endure, even though the problem isn't our strength--it's the social construct of white supremacy. Kevin talks about how many people of color (including myself for most of my life) try to place themselves on equal footing with the white establishment and deny the white supremacy that exists, but how the reckoning comes for us all eventually (see Omarosa and the Trump administration). He shares how friends have turned him into "the scary Black guy" when the need arose, and how easily his image could be turned based solely on how Black folx are viewed in this country. Kevin and I have an amazing conversation chatting about creating inclusive communities, and he gives me some tips on fostering diversity on the podcast in upcoming seasons, and how you can do the same in your polyam circles! Be sure to tune in and learn how you can create inclusive communities in your polyam world, too!

Giovanni en ik hadden het al maanden via Instagram DM's en later WhatsApp over de vreemde racistische reacties die hij als zwarte man kreeg over zijn ethische non-monogamie. We stuurden artikelen heen en weer en kletsen maar een eind heen. Eindelijk hadden we een datum gepland om op te nemen en toen waren daar de Black Lives Matter protesten.

Kevin A. Patterson & Alana Phelan, the authors of the For Hire series, join us to talk about their new books featuring queer polyamorous heroes and magicians. It's a world like our own, but the emergence of superhumans has created shifts in culture that play out in changes both subtle and monumental. They chat about what inspired the characters, the story, and whether shadow government conspiracy theories are real. Kevin Patterson, M.Ed has been practicing ethical nonmonogamy since August of 2002. In April of 2015, Kevin was inspired to start Poly Role Models, a popular interview series blog. The blog extended into speaking engagements about how race and polyamory intersect and the writing of the book, Love's Not Color Blind. Kevin took a month-long break from Love's Not Color Blind to write the first draft of For Hire: Operator. Alana Phelan is a librarian, writer, editor, and community organizer. She lives in South Jersey with her family, two cats, and a surprisingly large Dorbz collection. You can find her online as The Polyamorous Librarian, where she writes a weekly advice column and offers workshops and relationship support. She wasn't supposed to be a co-writer on For Hire: Operator, only an editor, but here we are.
Dr. Elisebeth VanderWeil on Finding "Good" Fear Dr. Elisebeth VanderWeil is a full-cycle learning, change, and fear expert in Seattle, WA. She is committed to helping individuals and organizations navigate the messy, difficult work of learning and change.

Dr. VanderWeil speaks with Robin Renée about the nature of fear, the complexity of our responses to it, and how a small amount of the right kind of fear is essential for learning, growth, and transformation.

Whether electronic, plastic, or old-fashioned green "paper ballots," we have the power to choose to spend or not spend our money in each potential transaction. Do you choose Costco over Walmart? Do you avoid Hobby Lobby, Chik-fil-A, or Wendy's? How much effort do you put into supporting businesses you think are a net positive in the world?
