Change Yourself to Change the World Toward Housing Justice
06/02/22 • 35 min
You might recognize the saying “change yourself to change the world.” It’s an idea that a fair number of movement leaders have leaned into throughout history. In this episode, we explore the ideas that come from the life, activism, and teachings and ways of being of a beautiful ancestor, Grace Lee Boggs and how they will help us get to housing justice. Alexander “Lex” Rey Perez (Ifa Segun Funmi) joins us in this episode to talk about his ideas on collective responsibility and who we are in conversation, shifting from being thing-oriented to person-oriented in our housing systems, and how grace and gratitude might lead us to the housing future we want to see.

Belonging as a Path Toward Housing Justice
This episode is a conversation about the concepts of othering and belonging, and the impact we might have if we could move housing and homeless systems and structures from ones that are built around “othering” over to ones that are built around “belonging.” We are diving into the ideas and thoughts of John Powell- his teachings, speaking and writing, and that of the Othering & Belonging Institute. And we talk about how belonging has guided the Regional Kitchen Table in the Twin Cities Metro Region.
I’m joined in this episode by LaQuita Limo. LaQuita is a Minnesotan by way of Mississippi. She is a mom, an educator, a student of life, and a housing justice activist. In our conversation she talks about telling hard truths and inviting people who she may disagree with into a conversation with clarity, grace, and maybe sometimes also a little charm.
