Just in time for the holidays: adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown join us for a heart-opening, mind-bending conversation about sisterhood, justice, family, and how to love ourselves and people with different values simultaneously.
- Why their family holidays used to end in explosions – and the strategy they used to transform family time into peaceful respites.
- Their intentional practice for creating a more beautiful way of spending time together - including their weekly “Sister Check-ins.”
- What their mother did as children to protect their dignity, and what they are doing now to protect hers.
- Their beautiful vision for the future – and invitation to all of us to go with them.
