Okay let’s go! This’ll be a paid subscriber only bonus. I spent a little time editing it and improving the sound quality, because I just wanted to do something special for you. I’m grateful for every single cent, you seriously make this new path for me possible, and inspire me every week to read, learn, grow and write. Also, I want to practice and improve my abilities here, so naturally a benefit of supporting me financially is being the proud recipients of all my “first pancakes”, first tries, and wips.
This was my first live reading, I was super nervous. I’ve uploaded the full unedited video on YouTube too, for accessibility. I’ll be doing these reading weekly, with more structure and keep the podcast content coming.
NOTE: In this live recording I name that there are problematic elements to NVC and it has absolutely been applied unethically as well. I do mis state that it doesn’t work at scale, against larger structures and systems. NVC works to increase compassion, understanding and solidarity which is radical, especially when we’re dealing with each other (folks who operate/work within, or are subject to these systems.) My point was to say that NVC isn’t a silver bullet for systems that only are able to function by dehumanizing and exploiting people. I hope that makes sense!
If there’s any topics you’d be interested in receiving as a long form podcast episode, or any reading you want to put in the queue, give me a holler.
in kinship,
Jamila
