On this week's episode we have musician, print maker, liminal beauty and Marian devotee, Ramona Martinez, creator of the Visions of Mary oracle deck. Have you ever had one of those experiences where you meet a new friend and can't help but become immediately comfortable? This was the experience Ramona and I had as we sat down with some tea to discuss the various faces of the Mothers Mary and Hekate. This episode unfolds more like sisters hiding under bed covers at night sharing secrets than my standard interview style, but that seemed appropriate in the end considering our conversation. Join us as we discuss working and getting to know the Mother archetype, in all her paradoxical facets, from the perspective of two of the most well known spirits who claim that name. In what ways do Mary and Hekate differ? In what ways are they the same? How does the Mother present herself to us, in ways of both darkness and light? Both Ramona and I share a bit of our personal practice with these spirits, and talk a bit about channeling. There's even an appearance from Ramona's sphinx cat Cyclops.

This week I sit down to talk to Artist and writer Ramona Martinez.Ramona is a fine artist and activist involved with arts organisation and has worked within media and the arts industry for many years and is making waves as an artist should. Using stark religious Christian iconography in her work we sit down to discuss how she's been reclaiming the image and narrative of Mary from Christianity for anarchists and rebels and why it's so important for her.We talk about how media imagery has played such a large part in the last few years and how and why artists use it so often. Discussing all things independent art from things as punk zines, free art, graffiti and faith it's a deep dive on something we've not discussed before on YAC which is religion.You can check out Ramona's work on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/by_ramona_martinez/the Fucc zine :https://www.instagram.com/heyfucc/Her collab project, visions of Mary : https://www.instagram.com/visionsofmary/And all the other things she's got her hands on https://www.ramonamartinez.net/Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteFor more of Graham visitwww.facebook.com/yellingatconcretewww.instagram.com/yellingatconcretehttps://yellingatconcrete.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Ramona Martinez is an artist who seeks to reclaim Christianity for misfits, radicals, anarchists, feminists, and outcasts of all types. Growing up, Ramona attended an Anglican church. But when she was around nine years old, that church became a central player in the Episcopal schism. This kicked off an exploration of her spirituality that led to blending magic and Christianity in some really interesting ways. We talk about how magic and Christianity have been historically interwoven, how angels have been subverting the gender binary since the beginning of time, the *feeling* when you start practicing magic, how Millennials are unpacking their ancestral generational karma, (not) channeling the voice of Mary Magdalene, magic-ing a significant other, some Tarot 101, Ramona's New Testament-themed Tarot deck, what's up with Theosophy, why our generations are attracted to these practices, the fears people have around magic, and more. Plus, Carrie is inviting our first return guest to the Fight Corner!Resources:Ramonamartinez.netInstagram: @by_ramona_martinezpatreon.com/RamonaMartinezMala Leche - Radical feminist zinePYRAMID - Appalachian magic + remedy"Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom" by Rachel Pollack"Tarot as a Way of Life" by Karen Hamaker-ZondagUntil We Get Canceled is a Crate Original from Crate Media
Join five prominent voices in movement journalism for an urgent discussion of community-centered reporting and the end of objectivity. Since its proliferation in the 1920s, objectivity has been used as a tool of journalism, developed to create neutrality in reporting. However, as journalist Ramona Martinez says, "Objectivity is the ideology of the status quo." What has been forgotten in media history is that there have always been journalists resisting even the largest journalism corporations and their unequal coverage of the marginalized communities. Recently there has been a rapid growth of those who call themselves movement journalists. These reporters seek to recenter community and directly impacted folks in their reporting instead of solely relying on the voice of institutions to create reporting that is factual, accurate, and speaks to the humanity of the people they report on. This conversation about the end of objectivity is held by panelists who are all a part of journalism organizations that work to bring authentic reporting and coverage to marginalized communities, including Just Media Project, Scalawag Magazine, Media 2070, and the Texas Observer. Speakers: Clarissa Brooks is an alum of Spelman College, a freelance journalist, and a community organizer fighting for PIC abolition. Her writing can be found at the Guardian, Teen Vogue, Vice, Bustle, and elsewhere. She's a former Freedomways Fellow with Press On, a journalism collective supporting women and nonbinary writers of color. She is currently an HBCU Fellow with #MeToo focusing on the experiences of survivors of sexual violence. Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Clarissa works to blend her love of community, ethical journalism, and scholarship. Cierra Hinton is a creative strategist: she centers radical imagination, play, and community in her work. In addition to coaching and consulting, Cierra is the Executive Director-Publisher at Scalawag. Before Scalawag, Cierra was an individual giving officer at a number of education non-profits. Cierra has also served as the Director of Network Building and Operations at Press On, a Southern media collective and was a fellow at the Poynter Institute through the Media Transformation Challenge. She sits on the boards of LION Publishers and the NC Local News Workshop. DaLyah Jones was born and raised a country girl behind the “Pine Curtain” of East Texas. She is currently the Director of Engagement at the state watchdog magazine Texas Observer and a board member for movement journalism organization Press On. Her other work can be found at Texas Observer, NPR, Texas Monthly, NBC Think, and more. Her work covers contemporary Black Southern issues around environment, preservation, arts and culture as well as BIPOC communities in rural areas of Texas. Diamond Hardiman works as the manager for Free Press' News Voices: Colorado project in collaboration with community members to envision a transformative media. As a member of the Black Caucus at Free Press, she also works with Media 2070, a campaign and 100-page essay making the case for media reparations. In service of this vision she has worked as a tenants' rights advocate and bail abolitionist in St. Louis, as well as an advocate for people sentenced to execution by the state in Jackson, Mississippi. Diamond earned a B.A. in African American studies and Political Science from Saint Louis University. Anoa Changa is an independent journalist based in Atlanta.

If there’s anything you know about journalists, it’s probably that they’re supposed to be objective: relating just the facts, with no personal bias. But is that really possible—or a good thing to strive for—in the “post-truth” world we’re currently living in?For this bonus episode of Just the Beginning, we’re sharing the first episode of The View from Somewhere, a podcast about journalism with a purpose, produced by Lewis Raven Wallace and Ramona Martinez. In it, Lewis shares the story of losing his job after raising questions about the value of journalistic objectivity.If you like what you hear, head to lewispants.com to listen to more episodes of_The View from Somewhere ._And help them make more episodes by backing their Kickstarter campaign, which is live until February 6th.Featuring music by:Balún ensemble, et al.DogboticPodington Bear

Though many join out of a sense of duty, the military benefits and the prospect of a better future are undeniable draws to service. Ramona Martinez examines whether Latino veterans have gotten enough back from the country they have fought for.

When we talk about immigration, many people forget that Latinos have been living in the United States for a long time, even before English settlers arrived on the East Coast. At the Vida Senior Center in Washington, D.C., many elderly Latinos come together to participate in a bicultural community and enjoy each other’s company. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, and to demonstrate just how many different cultures fall under the term “Hispanic,” Ramona Martinez went to the center to hear their stories.

Sofia VergaraMaid, immigrant, bombshell. Oddly these are the most common roles that Latina actresses get to play in television and movies. These roles often re-enforce stereotypes that negatively affect Latina Americans in the real world. And they've existed since Latinas made their entrance onto the screen. Ramona Martinez has more.

In the 1960s, a Civil Rights Movement in the Latino community was beginning to take hold. Young Mexican Americans began to organize for greater political rights, better educational opportunities, and worked to establish a new collective identity. Los Angeles was the epicenter of this movement, and its chronicler was a journalist named Ruben Salazar. Ramona Martinez has this portrait of the best known Latino journalist of the 20th century.

In the United States, over 1,000 people are deported daily. About a quarter of people deported in the last two years are parents of a U.S. citizen child. Currently there are more than 5,000 children in foster care whose parents have been deported, and that number is expected to grow to 15,000 by 2016, according to some groups. This is the harsh reality of many Latinos in the United States. Ramona Martinez brings us one story of deportation, and of the disconnect between White House policy and the immigration offices that enforce it.

Although immigration reform seems all but forgotten compared to the crisis in Syria and the debt ceiling, it is still relevant to the 11 million undocumented people in the United States. Many of those are youth who were brought to the country as children, but live in the shadows, where a chance at a better life seems all but unattainable. Ramona Martinez introduces us to one such youth who refused to live a life on the fringes of society.
Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the country. Though many are recent immigrants, Hispanics have been living in America as far back as the 16th century, even before settlers from England. But where did the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” come from? Ramona Martinez sheds some light on the subject.
