How to Survive the End of the World
Join Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown, two sisters who share many identities, as writers, activists, facilitators, and inheritors of multiracial diasporic lineages, as well as a particular interest in the question of survival, as we embark on a podcast that delves into the practices we need as a community, to move through endings and to come out whole on the other side, whatever that might be.

An earlier version this episode contained some misaligned audio. Sorry about that!

Guest Podcast: Tomi Adeyemi Crafts Fantastic Worlds with Words
Before we come back with a full fall slate of episodes, we want to share this episode of Your Attention Please from Hulu and IHeartRadio.
In 2019, Tomi Adeyemi followed up her best-selling debut novel, Children of Blood and Bone, with another installment in the Legacy of Orïsha series, Children of Virtue and Vengeance. Readers have fallen in love with Adeyemi's stories, which are magical and transporting but also so resonant in today's world. In this episode, Kimberly chats with Tomi about believing your dreams are possible, having the right people on your team, and bad spinoffs. And, naturally, Tomi has all the best metaphors for life.

Queer Astrological Technologies, Live from the 2020 AMC!
adrienne and Autumn are joined once again by the incomparable queer astrologer, Chani Nicholas (@chaninicholas), author of You Were Born For This, in the opening plenary of the 2020 Allied Media Conference. Their giddy, love-filled conversation spans the gamut from how we sit with hard astrology, to how we work with and shape our collective purpose using the queer feminist technology of the stars.

Guest Podcast: Fortification
As our summer break continues, we're so excited to feature an episode from our friends at the Fortification podcast.
Future: Spiritual and political mandates for our future
The conversation began with these questions: Where is this present moment taking us? What can we radically imagine for our future survival knowing what we know now? In times of crisis, seemingly impossible ideas become imaginable. What does or might the economy of healthcare, the collective practice of care, look like on the other side of this? What is your best and worst case scenario? What is the spiritual mandate of this new time? What is our charge moving forward?
Learn more about the guests. Find a transcript of the conversation.
This episode is part of a series in collaboration with Cara Page, Susan Raffo and Anjali Taneja. Learn more about their work at Healing Histories;Disrupting the Medical Industrial Complex. Editing by Wazi Maret www.wazimaret.com, transcription support by Kolenge Fonge and music by Abhimanyu Janamanchi.

Guest Podcast: Tarot for the End of Times
2020 is an Emperor Year, a 4 year, so we thought it would be particularly helpful to uplift episode 7: The Emperor, from Tarot for the End of Times, hosted by Sarah Cargill, to give us some sense of what we're facing and what we are feeling.
SUBSCRIBE to Tarot for the End of Times, wherever you listen to pods.

The Emperor's sacred fire has the capacity to assist in performing great acts of human compassion and nurturance, as well as the power to destroy all that it touches. This episode teaches us about walking this razor's edge.
