Gaslighting is real y'all !And its a shitty experience to have to go through. As some of you know by now that I used t be heavily involved with the Christian community and I also once worked for Church For The Nations in my early 20's . This church played a positive significant role in my life and I learned so much about myself from this church and also met some of my closest friends from this church. My life since then has changed after I embarked on a new journey at 23 and spent time in San Francisco's Tenderloin with a faith based training program that changed my worldview on humanity and God, I came back after that and I had left this church because their values no longer served me and their pastor openly supports Trump . I was looked down upon for choosing not to be part of their church . Fast forward I went back to college and here is where I was introduced to social justice work and learning more about dismantling racism ,and anti -racism work and how it affects us daily. In this episode I address Elevate International and Chad Johnson who is a white prominent figure within the Christian community and he has close proximity to Black people and how him and his organization failed to acknowledge their black youth until I called them out on their lack of inaction . While calling them out I did present them with demands that their organization should take into consideration . This organization went and released a statement 2 days after I called them out on their lack of inaction which is also a perfect example of performative solidarity. Neither once did they acknowledge how they missed the mark and how they dropped the ball . **Side note :I have lost a lot of friends since speaking out against this organization ** Wherever you're listening from today my hope is may you feel empowered to speak truth to power and more importantly if you are a Black woman and people have gaslighted you when you speak up I want to say I am so sorry . I believe you and I stand with you . --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kumo-wakunguma/message

Been Doin' This! Episode 9 is great! I got to talk to Nico who runs the awesome art gallery/screen printing shop Fleetwood in the heart of San Francisco's Tenderloin. Nico, like many of my guests has a drive to do what she loves and tends to go into her work with a commitment and willingness to let things work themselves out. I got to print at her shop for a day and I was very much at home with the vibes there. Below is the shop bio and some links! Support small businesses! https://www.instagram.com/fleetwood_sf/ https://fleetwoodsf.com/ https://sffirstthursday.com/ Fleet Wood is a print shop, art gallery, and locally-made retail store in San Francisco where fresh t-shirts are printed daily. They've been printing their own brand of casual lifestyle apparel and accessories since 2010 and opened their brick and mortar in the Tenderloin in 2015. They hand screenprint each t-shirt one at a time, so each one is truly unique. Fleet Wood is focused on comfort and wearability, and their vintage tourism-inspired line of everyday tees represents chill vibes that engage both locals and visitors alike. They work hard, they play hard, and they respect that San Francisco hustle.

Conservationists hoping to protect a threatened wild species tend to take a standard set of actions. These can involve political campaigns, lawsuits, and media outreach. But sometimes it’s the unexpected approaches that can make the difference. Over the past several years, artist Jane Kim has been creating large-scale public murals of the monarch butterfly, an insect that’s in a state of crisis. Recent surveys indicate the that the population of the western monarch in California has plummeted to below 30,000, down from 4.5 million in the mid-1980s. Kim’s latest work is a painting in San Francisco's Tenderloin district that wraps three sides of a 13-story building and includes a 50-foot-tall monarch. It’s suddenly one of the most dramatic features in the city’s skyline. The question now is whether this extraordinary piece of public art will spur the actions really needed to save the species—or become a tribute to a once beautiful butterfly.

This week's episode, as part of our season on Asian Americans in Asia, we revisit the 2003 documentary "Refugee," by Spencer Nakasako, which follows three Cambodian American young men as they go back to Cambodia for the first time to confront their family histories. Like most of Nakasako's films of the time, the documentary makes use of the subjects' personal video diaries and Nakasako empowers Mike Siv and his friends Paul Maes and David Mark to pick up the camera themselves and film their own stories. Mike Siv, who's 24 at the time, has been told his whole life that he and his mother escaped the Khmer Rouge when he was a little kid, leaving his father and brother behind. He only recently found out that his brother doesn't actually know his father, so his assumption that if he had stayed in Cambodia, that he'd have a father, is shattered. So we see what happens when see a Cambodian American, from the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin, brings his very Americanized perspective of what a father should be -- what a son deserves to have from his father -- to war-torn Cambodia. And we see that this is just the beginning of a journey: 12 years later, Mike Siv would make his own feature length documentary, 2016's "Daze of Justice," where he follows a group of Cambodian American women back to Cambodia so they can testify at the Khmer Rouge trials.

On EP 24 Paco and George talk with filmmaker Marjorie Sturm about her documentary The Cult of JT LeRoy. We talk about JT Leroy's first two novels Sarah and The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and we get into hero worship, cons, Rachel Dolezal, improvisation, filmmaking and much more. Authorized and unauthorized, The Cult of JT Leroy received two Jury Awards for Best Feature Documentary (SF IndieFest and Oslo/Fusion International) in 2015 and played at top-tier festivals around the world. Ethically charged, controversial, and confusing, JT’s life and death sprang open a Pandora’s box of powerful questions about literature and culture, identity and celebrity, and the reality of the society we live in. Fraud? Art? Sociopathy? Complicity? The Cult of JT Leroy is a testament to this bizarre and elaborate story that has captured the attention of the world’s media and perplexes to this day.Jeremiah "Terminator" LeRoy was a literary persona created in 1994 by American writer Laura Albert. LeRoy was supposedly born October 31, 1980 in West Virginia. His backstory was one of prostitution, drug addiction, and vagrancy in California. After his first novel Sarah was published, "LeRoy" started making public appearances. A January 2006 article in The New York Times declared that the person acting as LeRoy in public was Albert's sister-in-law, Savannah Knoop. Knoop wrote her own memoir of the experience called Girl Boy Girl. An Albert-endorsed documentary by Jeff Feuerzeig, Author: The JT LeRoy Story, premiered at Sundance 2016.Marjorie Sturm is an award-winning filmmaker whose films span a broad perspective: narrative, documentary, and experimental.
