Soul Force For the Workforce

Elysse Grossi-Soyster is a Microbiology & Immunology graduate student with Stanford University's School of Medicine. She is the founder of the STEM Outreach Collective and a community educator for the Heart to Heart program, facilitating conversations with pre-teen girls about health and well-being. Elysse has also worked for NASA as a senior research associate, she’s created content for Khan Academy, and she makes vegan peanut butter cups. Needless to say, our conversation was SO much fun.

We explore her journey to virology and her interest in zoonotic viruses, efforts towards equity and so-called diversity in STEM, her work with NASA, and alternatives to animal testing in science! Don’t let the topics intimidate you, we had a blast, and Elysse is an expert communicator!

All music on today’s episode is by the late, great Gift of Gab of Blackalicious. We learned this weekend of his passing. One of the all time greatest lyricists and rhyme writers, a true expert of the craft, he will be greatly missed by the hip hop community at large. Rest in Peace Gift.
Find his music as part of the Solesides collective and Quannum, Blackalicious, and his solo music as Gift of Gab

In this clip from Soul Force Ones, co-hosts Jon Stoll and Colin Cole talk with politician, Oregon State Senator Sara Gelser about reaching across the aisle and the Thanksgiving dinner table to talk and work with people we disagree with. She shares about the paradox of leading and listening and the seemingly paradoxical decision for a disability advocate to close the Oregon School for the Blind. Senator Gelser, named one of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” Silence Breakers, explains what VP Kamala Harris in the White House means for our country and Jon''s children. She shares about relationships, politicking and policy making on a professional level, and opens up to share about her faith, her connections to Quakers and what gets her through the pandemic.
Track 1 is set to the music of:
Pressure by Little Simz feat. Little Dragon
My Vote Will Count - YelloPain ft. Sevyn Streeter

SOUL FORCE ONES

Soul Force Ones is a weekly interview show hosted by Jonathan "MC" Stoll and Colin "DJ" Cole. We talk with guests of different faiths and spiritual backgrounds, working in different positions that start with "P" about their Purpose and Practice, their work and inner workings, and how making cash is less important than making meaning and Community, Contemplation, Authenticity and Activism, Soulforce and Spirituality, Healing and Hip Hop (CASH).

On episode 40 (40!!!), Jon and colin do something a little different. The hosts discuss a theme that spans several recent episodes, violence.

• Is violence the antithesis of soul force?
• What does it mean to aspire for peace internally and externally?
• Is labor violent?... What about working yourself to death?
• Is there a violence of idleness?

40 episodes in, and there's so much more to explore about Soul Force and that C.A.S.H. What’s been your favorite episode so far? Shoot us an email at [email protected] and let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

Music included in this episode is from Oddisee and Cambio, and the Soul Force Ones theme song produced by OJ the Producer.

Soul Force Ones is a multi-dimensional metaphor with layered meanings that includes, but is not limited to, our shared oneness and MLK's reference to, "meeting physical force with soul force."
DJ Cole and MC Stoll explore the other metaphors and meanings of "Soul Force Ones" as they discuss Our Creation Story, and the myths, the legend and the metaphor of "Soul Force Ones." Together, we'll explore the Who, What, When, Where, and How. What does Soul Force Ones and C.A.S.H. mean and How are they interconnected? Why was it created? Who are Soul Force Ones? Where are we going and How will we get there?
