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.
THEN … From Black Panther to Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu, Afrofuturism has become part of our culture. Filmmaker and author Ytasha Womack defines Afrofuturism as “the intersection between black culture, technology, liberation and the imagination, with some mysticism thrown in, too.” On this episode of Making Contact – Afrofuturism: 3 Women You Need to Know – authors Nalo Hopkinson, Nnedi Okorafor, and Jewelle Gomez discuss the role of history and politics in their work, the monsters that haunt their stories and the importance of imagining the future.
