Olay shares her concerns about the impact of her activism on her personal life and the safety of her loved ones. Still, despite the risks, she remains committed to speaking out against systemic injustices. Join us

Ep 314. Jonathan Majors Guilty While Gaza Still Grieves Ft. Nehad Khader
Around The Way Curls
12/20/23 • 123 min
In one of our final episodes of this year Shanti shares her last accomplishment in her attempt to "look like herself" while Antoinette recaps her family Christmas party and her favorite cup of tea (literally).
For our politics segment, we are joined by special guest Nehad Khader. As much as we wanted to end the year in love and light, we felt it important to continue to raise awareness about the continuing genocide in Gaza. Nehad was generous enough to share her lived experience as a Palestinian who like many of us is attempting to maintain hope while refusing to ignore her duty to her homeland and her people in the fight for all oppressed people throughout the world.
We end our episode discussing the recent verdict of Jonathan Majors in which he was convicted of assault in the 3rd degree and harassment in the 2nd degree. We share our reactions and discuss the qualifications of redemption and potential within the public sphere. Join us...
Palestinians to follow to learn more of the history and current events unfolding in Gaza.

Ep 363. Johari Gave Us Relief
Around The Way Curls
06/27/24 • 56 min
Hi ATWC Curmmunity! This week's episode will be our last episode while we take a break and recalibrate. We thank everyone for all the love and encouragement. Please look out for updates for our next episode release via social media, Patreon and our newsletter.
For our main topic, we explore the concept of Jahari's Window which is a visual framework for understanding self-awareness and interpersonal relationships. The window consists of four quadrants: open, blind, hidden, and unknown. In the open area, both individuals are aware of certain traits and behaviors. The blind area represents things that others see in us but we are unaware of. The hidden area contains aspects of ourselves that we keep hidden from others. The unknown area represents untapped abilities and qualities that neither we nor others are aware of. We complete an exercise together. Together we discuss our blind spots and hidden areas in our personal and professional lives. We end the conversation feeling some relief and optimism as we uncover new possibilities for growth and understanding in our future together.
