In the Words and Voice of Rebecca W. Walston: Anticipatory intelligence is a phrase that I heard at a seminar talking about racial trauma. The speaker whose name I can't remember, was talking about this idea of a kind of intelligence that is often developed by marginalized people. And because this was a seminar on racial trauma in the United States, her examples were all primarily around racialized experiences as the United States understand that sense of racialized society. And so the idea of anticipatory intelligence is the amount of effort or energy that we put in emotionally, mentally, psychologically, to anticipating how our bodies and the stories that they represent will be received in a space that we are in before we get there.

Election Conversations with two of my favorites: Matthias Roberts Danielle S. Rueb Castillejo We grapple with politics, humanity, faith, and where do we go from here?

A continued conversation Themes would be continuing political dialogue in our current climate, and what is at stake if we do not vote. I feel pressed to continue to keep our neighbors in mind. The following are questions to keep in mind as you listen. Questions: how do you vote when candidates support or do not support critical issues to your own conscience? Guests include Poulsbo For All's Pam Keely and Community Activist (Kitsap County) Sarah Van Gelder How do you see change happening in our society - both long term and short term? Context of keeping in mind the humanity of our neighbors. Are you a part of any social movements?

A Brief Recap of the past year, where we left off with the North Kitsap School District and then a variety of voice contribute to thoughts on these two questions: The mportance or how you see being human in the age of politics 1. How do you see your own humanity in the context of political dialogue. 2. How do you make space for folks in your proximity who do not share your political views

Justice for ALL Students Campaign, Part 4 In Their Own Voices - here first hand from those at the November 22, 2022 meeting, including other voices who spoke publicly in the past few months to the North Kitsap School Board, with no response to this date as to implementation of any of the (7) solutions presented to the Superintendent and School Board in February 2023.

In this Episode (of dealing with North Kitsap School District), I open up with some brief history, the basic law of Lau v. Nichols (1973-1974), and how that changed the English Language Access for students, an example of one complaint from our school district, as well as hearing from community members in their own voices, in their own words, both Allies, and personal examples of what they experienced, how they are involved with advocacy, and what, if anything has changed since last year (2022)

Conversations on faith, race, justice, gender healing in the church. This morning I'm coming at you with a throwback episode that I recorded, actually last year after working with Chasing Justice in Sandra Van Opstal, in Chicago, and things I learned about the Latinx collective experience. Looking forward to sharing this with you. I think it might be helpful to throw this in, in the middle of the series on what is going on with the school board and the Latino community here. And I know I'm focusing on Latino community, Latinx community, but really there's such a need for justice among all of our communities. But I cannot speak to everyone's experience. So as other people's voices come in, they will speak to their own experience. I hope to amplify that. So listen in.

During this episode, hear more of the history of racism and efforts to work with North Kitsap School District from community members, some names are shielded for safety reason. You will also have the opportunity to hear some of the details of the November timeline and be introduced to KAIRE (Kitsap Advocating for Immigrant Rights and Equality) and how they came into the picture.

After a few months hiatus, Partly that is due to me, Danielle Rueb - Castillejo, doing this on my own, and also just in February, having a town hall and gathering the Latino/a/x community together, and which this situation with the school board has not been resolved yet. This is the history of the "break" and what led to the Latino/a/x - Community Town Hall in February 2023. This has taken an honorable place of, of my time and I'm continuing to work towards that - toward justice in the North Kitsap school district, and equity. It might be helpful to tell a little bit of the history of how that got started and, what happened for me and why the meeting happened in November of 2022. If you're following along, I'll put some links to the Kitsap Sun articles, in the notes.

Welcome To the Arise podcast with Alethea Lamberson, conversations on faith, race, justice, gender and healing. And just wanna welcome a colleague and a dear friend. She's located in the Atlanta area and I love who she is. She is about belonging, she is about being with others in their stories. She's about being authentic and true to what she believes. And I'm just so honored to have her with me today and it's election season.

This is an important time in the nation and it has been an important time for many years. I think back to 2016, 2018, 2020. And now we're in 2022 and we're still working through what does it mean to exercise this right to vote? What does it mean? What is impacting our communities? What things are important? And today I had a conversation with Karen Vargas of Kitsap County. She is an elder. She is on the Multicultural Advisory Committee for our county. She is living arts cultural heritage, founded the Living Arts Cultural Heritage Project and Living Life Leadership. She has taught cultural history and life skills to hundreds of youth throughout Kitsap County and including many of the young leaders who spoke at demonstrations in 2020. Ms. Vargas is concerned about the impact of what Covid did. She is deeply invested. And in 2021, the governor of Washington, Jay Insley, bestowed on Vargas an arts and heritage award in the category of luminaries honoring people who stood as shining lights for their community during the pandemic. And someone that commented on the award, Sheila Hughes, the executive director of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, described Vargas as a trusted advisor as well as a great friend who has a genuine laugh and a huge hug for just when you need one. So as you think about listening tune in and hopefully keep an open mind to the conversation.
