Glocal CitizensEpisode 167: Herstories 2023: What is your Craft?Greetings Glocal Citizens!
This week on the podcast, rather than one last guest rounding out our March 2023 herstories series, I went into our archives with a specific goal of putting together a salon of sorts about craft. I think of craft as how vocation, location, persistence and passion fulfill us. According to Merriam-Webster, it is skill in planning, making, or executing.
I always ask this question because I feel it allows my guest to share more than what they do on a day-to-day basis for economic returns i.e. work, and gets closer to the...2023-03-2858 min

Rethinking PossibleWhy the Racial Justice Reckoning Requires Emotional JusticeToo often we rely on technical models to address racism—implicit bias training, examining data and statistics, crafting institutional statements. But the very systems that uphold racial inequity Esther Armah says, are actually propped up by emotion, not logic. Changing the brutal realities of systemic racism requires embarking on a mission of “emotional justice.” For some, an “intimate reckoning” in our closest relationships is necessary, she says. Armah believes that we must confront, in both the personal and public spheres, the way race and racism are felt in the body.As founder and executive director of the Armah Inst...2021-05-0644 min

rabble radioStopping sexual abuse of young girls in schools in GhanaAnti-sexual abuse and women’s empowerment campaigns like #MeToo and #TimesUp have upended the conversation surrounding sexual violence and women’s issues worldwide. But in parts of West Africa, strong cultural and religious taboos have prevented some women from speaking out in support of these movements. In Ghana, research that dates back to 2009 shows sexual abuse in schools accounts for more than half of all cases in the country. It also shows that teachers are among the highest perpetrators of sexual violence, particularly among young girls. The country’s education ministry is currently investigating a number of sexual abus...2018-08-0916 min
