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.

Yes, Black People Camp, Hike and Kayak: Ian Solomon of Amplify Outside on Environmental Healing, Black Recreation as Black Liberation and the Joys of Nature

Meet Ian Solomon of Amplify Outside – a Black man who, get this, HIKES & CAMPS & KAYAKS! Gasp! Yep, a popular stereotype and misconception is that Black folks don't really "do" the outdoors, staying away from woods and mountains and stray or woodsy animals. Out to debunk such myths, Ian -- whose motto is "Black Recreation is Black Liberation" -- takes every chance he gets to be outside. He’ll talk about ENVIRONMENTAL HEALING, a topic that is othered, especially one not discussed a lot in the Black community. And what are Sound Baths? How can we get healing from sound? From the night sky? So much to learn!
