THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen ::
FIRST – How do activists in the Latinx immigrant community of Los Angeles take care of their mental health? People who work in the service of others are particularly at risk of burnout and compassion fatigue. In this special “Self Care as Selfless Act: Mental Health at the Root of Activism ” Paulina Velasco talked to Frances Chinchilla, a licensed social worker, and community activists Hector Plascencia, roque armenta, Evelyn Hernandez and Maegan Ortiz.
AND – we feature a segment from Making Contact and scholar Ytasha Womack’s presentation at the 2017 Sonic Acts Festival called #Afrofuturism: Imagination and Humanity. She explores resilience by using the imagination, tensions that arise from embracing hope, the separation of humanity from itself through the race construct, and the power of storytelling.
Tuesday at 2 on KPFK. What Feminism Can Sound Like.
Paulina Velasco’s reporting on Self Care as Selfless Act: Mental Health at the Root of Activism was undertaken as a USC Center for Health Journalism 2020 California Fellow.
