In 2020, the Black Lives Matter Movement emerged as the biggest protest movement in American history, and resounded worldwide. Patrisse Cullors, one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, tells the story of the birth of this powerful movement for racial justice, and shares her vision of a world where black people are actually free, a world that we all deserve to live in.  Watch Patrisse Cullors' Keynote at the 2018 Bioneers Conference: bioneers.org/patrisse-cullors-women-of-the-blacklivesmatter-movement/ Patrisse Cullors, a performance artist and award-winning organizer from Los Angeles, is one of the most effective and influential movement builders of our era.

In the Season Two premiere of Looking Up, Sophia Bush, actress (One Tree Hill, Chicago P.D, Incredibles 2) talks all about the importance of being empathic, having curiosity, always seeking to learn and shares her fight for social and political justice. Now more than ever, Sophia’s voice, which is broadcasted to millions of people through social media, is necessary and critical; she is spreading the importance of being an activist in the community, voting to make real and lasting change, and standing up for what’s right.

Last week I learned to “Listen more; talk less. It will be good to give the microphone to someone else who is living a different experience than your own.”I’ve been incredibly inspired to use my platform to continue to uplift voices and stories of those who need to be heard right now. So I’d like to remind you if you didn’t hear it last week or maybe you did and thought, what could I possibly have to say? What could I contribute? Is my story/thought/idea/moment worth sharing? I am here to remind you, the answer is yes, you do have a story to share.Last week, I had originally set a deadline to call into the voicemail line I set up. After thinking on it this past week, I realized there is no deadline on telling your story. There is no deadline on speaking your truth. There is no deadline on reaching out to me to help you conquer your fears. Facing Fear with Sara is open to you.I’d like to remind you I’ve set up a voicemail line and an anonymous form for our Black brothers and sisters to call in and tell your story. Here’s how you can...Call 317-296-3737 (for nonverbal email facingfearwithsara@gmail.com). To remain 100% anonymous, fill out this form Share a life experience, an impactful story, your hope, fears, perspective or whatever’s on your heartIf you're a Black business owner and would like to promote your business and obtain free advertising from me, I invite you as wellLeave your first and/or last name, location, email and phone (for me to contact if needed or if you’d like to have a conversation with me rather than leaving a voicemail) OR choose to remain completely anonymousMaybe you know someone else with a story needing to be heard. Send them this episode via text or DM them with my social media posts on Facebook or Instagram at @facingfearwithsara. I hope whoever is listening finds warmth and encouragement in hearing my voice inviting them to open this line of communication. There so many resources out there and I encourage you to continue reading, listening and taking action. One resource I want to share is the Brown Eye, Blue Eye experiment by Jane Elliott. And then I want to you to listen to an interview she did just recently. Finally, we will end this show with 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence in honor of George Floyd. Accountability is important. Here is what I am doing to educate myself. Please know I am open to more resources and education, so send them my way.Donated to NAACP, Black Lives Matter, WeTheProtesters, Minnesota Freedom FundSign the petition for Justice for Breonna TaylorIn a current book study group with I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness and will pick up next When They Call You a Terrorist A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele

Hello, and welcome to Bri Books podcast. This episode is the season 3 finale. In this episode, we’re going through the five most durable, most enduring moments of season 3. I hope you stick around to the end, where I’ll be sharing what’s next with the podcast. I’d love to know, what are the most durable moments of the season? Tweet me at @bribookspod and using #bribooks on Instagram and Twitter. I can’t wait to ideate with you via the newsletter. 1:38 – These moments from “Bri Books” are as fresh now as they were when I spoke with the guests. They’re the ones I said, “Mmph!” to while I edited, and the ones that made me smile ear-to-ear when I listened back and put the episodes into the world. 2:20 - #5: Ep. 3.2:“From NABJ Convention to First Job” feat. Shauna Beni, on becoming a student-learner during her first job post-college. 3:49 – #4: Ep. 3.4: Wesley Lowery discussing his book, “They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement,” and humanizing the symbolism of the protest can be difficult, but Wesley’s book was one of the most enduring pieces of writing. Also, I can’t wait to read “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir” by Patrisse Kahn-Cullors and Asha Bandele. 6:52 – #3: 3.4: “Focus” Feat. Paulana Lamonier. Paulana guest-curated an episode about the book “Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence” by Daniel Goleman. The most durable part of this conversation occurred when we discussed how to cultivate the muscle of focus. 10:38 –#2: 3.13: “Top Reads for 2018” feat. Hiwote Getaneh. Hiwote suggested we all read the book “Designing Your Life,” to gain clarity on life and career choices. 13:15 – #1: 3.7: A conversation about the book “Drop The Ball” feat. Tiffany Dufu. What makes this moment the most durable is Tiffany’s insistence that how what matters is knowing the pressures you’re putting on yourself, and the ones you’re allowing others to put on you. Trust me, it was a deep conversation and you can listen here (season 3, episode 7). 16:40 – UPDATES!  Bri Books will be returning April 3, 2018 for season 4, on a biweekly schedule (every other Tuesday, a new episode will drop). But What about the week in between? Well, dear listener, you’re gonna want to be on the newsletter. Bribookspod.com/newsletter.
