REP on Media
One Million Experiments turns to the Twin Cities to connect with Signe Harriday, Core Team member of Relationships Evolving Possibilies, or REP. The host and Signe talk about how relationships are the building blocks of liberation work, how having a different number to call shifts individual and communal consciousness, and how Black liberation and indigenous sovereignty are at the center of the multi-century struggle of which we are all a part.
