Episode 10: Self-Care, Community-Care with Dr. Kesha Moore

Dr. Kesha Moore is a trained social science researcher and therapist who specializes in goal achievement in women's professional and personal lives. As Kesha explains in today's episode, her mantra is "building communities of love and justice," and she strives to create these communities of wellness through policy, education and life coaching.

Kesha and I talk about the permeable boundary between self and society; why it's so important for activists to take care of themselves; and how being intentional about our habits, rituals and goals can help us to live with purpose and joy.

Episode 9: Learning Inside & Out with Ben Delloiacono

This week, I'm chatting with Ben Delloiacono, an adjunct English professor who teaches at several universities in New Jersey, as well as inside prisons via the New Jersey Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons Consortium (NJ-STEP). We talk about Ben's reluctance to start teaching, what he did during the ten year period between getting his B.A. and Masters, why he has found his experience teaching in prison both challenging and fulfilling, and his take on anger, forgiveness, and the importance of saying "I love you."
