Today's episode is dedicated to the memory and Spirit of Mama Nasrah Smith. What does it mean to "Show Up?" Why is it important? On this final episode of Season 2, activist and host of TransLash podcast Imara Jones joins us to explore the responsibility we have to not just show up, but also show up as our true selves. We talk about the gifts of sharing compassion and empathy in times of grief and the dire importance of being honest with ourselves and others in this trying moment.

Konda Mason, Buddhist, farmer, and long-time friend of Macky (and new friend to Lisa!) joins us to explore the importance of reparations–not just in communities, but also between friends. Other discussions include the call to bring healing in spaces with a legacy of harm, and the importance of both truth-telling in friendships, and the necessity of compassion in the truth. We also discuss the gifts of spring and the beauty of Black farming. Be sure to follow our ‘Friends For Life: Songs Getting Us Through’ Playlist!
