Daily Border Crossings is a show that looks at what it’s like to feel like you’re crossing a border each day when you show up at a place. It could be work, school, college, a place you volunteer, maybe your neighborhood. Each day when you arrive, you feel like you have to leave so much of yourself outside the door, you can’t bring all of you with you, and it feels like you’re crossing a border. Each episode, we talk topics/to people who feel this way, sometimes to those who CAUSE others to feel this way, and have conversations around "othering" and not including certain types of people.

*Special "Harvard grad school, Say Her Name Edition" - Black Women: Juxtaposing Centering vs. Erasure

What started as a potential paper for a Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) final project became this special edition of DBC: *an audiovisual podcast campaign (PodPaign, yep I coined that!) that also has a YouTube version. The project -- which features many unheard of Black women Civil Rights greats as well as current Black women voices -- "Black Women: The Need for Centering vs. the Constant Erasure, Exploring this Juxtaposition", was for the course, Say Her Name: From Tituba to Breonna Taylor - Race, Gender, and Punishment, fall 2020 with professors Kaia Stern & Janelle Fouche.
Who -- Featuring interviews with experts:
Renowned Cardozo law professor Ekow Yankah from the popular PBS NewsHour piece on the contradictory and hypocritical treatment of the opioid vs. crack epidemics
Esteemed Harvard Medical School student LaShyra "Lash" Nolen
Distinguished Episcopal priest Jenifer Gamber
Veteran EdTech & Diversity, Equity, Inclusion practitioner Jonathan Fichter
Also, work and thoughts cited from Dr. Bettina Love, Dr. Kimberle Crenshaw, Dr. Janet Bell, Danielle Brooks, and more.
Plus hear powerful thoughts of fellow HGSE grad students -- women of color who are not Black.

What -- This episode also promotes campaign #ustoo, which I started to Remember, Recognize, Respect, & Regard Black women.

Specifically my research posed these questions: "How does centering the ways in which Black women live and love, survive, and struggle for freedom point toward the liberation of all people? How and why is it that Black women, a group of people so pivotal to the well-being of so many other groups, so crucial to this country, so impossible to NOT SEE, have historically been and continue to be invisible often in society? Why are they largely erased? What if they were centered as often instead?"
