This episode of But Her Lyrics... is part 1 of track 4, "This Stolen Land," with Emily Heger, an Equal Justice Works legal fellow with the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas. Her work focuses on winning asylum for women and girls fleeing gender-based violence. Shawna and Emily really dig into the current issues facing people when they arrive at the border of Texas and Mexico. Be sure to catch the next official episode of But Her Lyrics... for part two! The subject matter of this song is so vast that Shawna will be speaking with Dr. Meranda Roberts on the history of colonialism and genocide within these borders that make the current border crisis possible.
