Third time's the charm, right? With home and work being the two places we are at most often, there is something special about whatever your third space is. Whether it is your church, local bar, art studio, or the gym, these places are where people choose to go to enjoy themselves and those around them. Without institutionalized roles, these places typically have a healthy mix of people from all walks of life, historically leading to discourse and advocacy. Join our hosts as they introduce the theme for this year, the concept of Home. They will dive deep into what a third space is, why they are important for society, and how it ties in to a feeling of home. Special guests Elijah Jenkins and Arsima Araya will also join us to discuss their work in advocating for a third space on the University of Chicago's campus, the Black Student House!

Welcome back KSFam! This is the first episode of our tenth season! To celebrate this milestone, we are diving into our namesake - what does it mean to be Kinda Sorta Brown? For some of us, it is term that gathers all people of color together. For others, it resembles a personal message of a multi-cultural background. No matter how we see it, we can agree "Kinda Sorta Brown" is a mantra that projects unity. That leads us to our broad theme for this season: community and coalition among people of color. It is a great thing to learn about the uniqueness of different groups, and discuss how we can be an ally to each other. Tune in for this upcoming season to discover why! ________________________________________________________________________________ This episode’s hosts: Zara Salman, Narvella Sefah, Shanice Handley, Jordyn Smith, Mack Minter, Tanaya Vohra, Trinitee Holley, Lucy Whitehead, Meklet Demoz, Logan Toe, Myles Xavier, Faith Kumi, and Aaron Dyas    Join the KSFam!

Hey KSFam! It all starts with mom although we’ve come to the end of the road, we just can’t let you go without discussing the pivotal role black mothers play in their sons’ lives. The portrayal of Black men, in media, continues to have negative effects on the way Black boys perceive themselves and grow into adulthood. One way in which this poor representation is often combated is through the black mother’s presence. Join hosts, Aaron, Logan, and Ethan on our last episode of the season as they sit down with black mothers and discuss the portrayal of black men in society while highlighting how black mothers help to transform boys into men. ______________________________________ This episode's hosts: Aaron Dyas, Logan Toé, and Ethan Waggoner Join the KSFam!

Think of your favorite museum. How is the museum layed out? Who or what does the museum give space to? What is exhibited? Where are said items from and how were they obtained? War, violence, and theft underlie the history of museums in addition to the artifacts that lie within them — a colonial undercurrent that is only beginning to be addressed in the present day. In this episode, join Hope and Jon as they discuss cultural repatriation and how black and brown people can reclaim their own narratives in these institutional spaces as they reimagine them with Debra Yepa-Pappan, artist and Native Community Engagement Coordinator at the Field Museum for the Native Truths Exhibition. ______________________________________ This Episode’s Host: Jon Brooks and Hope Houston Join the KSFam!

In the two and half years since KSB’s inception, going on eight seasons, the number of transformational guests we’ve welcomed, and the countless KSFam we have been listening in, our time has been spent learning, questioning, and diving into issues that matter to our POC communities. The opportunity to discuss these topics is vital for our communities to share our stories and experiences. But, as we know, our communities can not be limited to a one time listen, episode, or story. We must reevaluate, re-educate, and reimagine what we’ve previously explored. Reimingaing as a practice is what this new season will tap into. As one of our KSB team values is to learn and explore through stories, we are excited to take the KSFam on a journey of reimagining. We are growing, and this season is the practice of that. Reimagining allows us to back and look forward at the same time. Come along and reimagine with us all throughout Season 8. ______________________ This Episode’s Host: Lena Diasti, Glen McGuire, Aaron Dyas, Narvella Sefah, Sam Herrera, Jon Brooks and Hope Houston Join the KSFam!

Discussions on Palestine in the U.S. are always framed as a “conflict”, when the issue is not really a matter of two equally matched opponents, but rather the occupation and extraction of resources by Israel that has displaced Palestinians from their homes. Although Palestinians still in Palestine and those spread throughout the world continue to face challenges from the Israeli state, Palestinians continue to resist, persevere, and uplift each other, their traditions, culture, and homeland. We will be in conversation with a Palestinian who has asked to go by “Shireen”, in honor of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was a renowned Palestinian-American journalist who was assassinated by Israeli forces while on the job. Our guest’s voice has been distorted to protect them from the doxxing tactics often used to silence activists. At KSB, we are committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities across the globe and we believe that it is imperative that voices like Shireen’s are heard. We are appreciative of having Shireen on the podcast and hope you’ll take a listen, learn, and share. (P.S. - We know that you all have been patiently awaiting the finale to our seventh season “Penny for Your Thoughts”, and we are beyond excited to share with you all this episode. We just want to give you all a huge thank you for listening and always supporting our work! The KSB Team sends lots of love) __________________ This Episode’s Host: Zara Salman and Fernanda Ponce Join the KSFam! We saved you a seat at the table.

When you think about the non-profit sector, what do you think: harmful or helpful? As the third largest workforce in the United States, the nonprofit sector creates 11.4 million jobs… What was once a web of grassroots and community-centered organizations has gained so much momentum that it has evolved into a multimillion dollar industry. In our episode, your hosts, Glen and Memphis, explore what has been lost along the way and who is still gaining from the non-profit world as it exists today. We are joined by our guest speaker, Gabby Green, the Public Policy Coordinator at Blackroots Alliance, a non-profit centered on the South Side of Chicago organizing with the goal of Black liberation. In our discussion, we open up conversation about the culture of the non-profit sector, the experience as an employee within it, and how the focus is shifting to, or away, from the communities these organizations claim to support. Glen and Memphis challenge you to evaluate your preconceptions about the intentions of nonprofit organizations, consider where your money is best spent, and reflect on whether bigger is actually better. __________________________________________ This Episode’s Host: Glen McGuire and Memphis Cutchlow Join the KSFam!

It is no exaggeration to say that cash rules everything around us. The need for money dictates where we work, what we eat, and how we spend our free time. For those who are in an area of low income and low resources, it is even harder to function. It is easy to get stuck in a cycle that keeps one in the same place of poverty. In this episode, our hosts Lena and Aaron explore a big solution to this problem: education. They take a deep dive into the history of America and what events lead many people of color into a situation of less education and more scarcity. Then looking toward the future, they discuss how through dedication to education, many people who wouldn’t have thought they could “make it out,” will end up somewhere better than they thought possible. Let’s face it y’all, we can’t all be rappers and hoopers to reach our goals—it’s time to get educated. __________________________________ This Episode’s Host: Aaron Dyas and Lena Diasti Join the KSFam!

KSFam, before listening, pause! Have you calculated the time cost of you tuning into this episode? In a world run inequitably and exploitatively by capital, much of our existence revolves around the labor we perform to generate personal and corporate profits. Season 7’s opening episode features a conversation between this season’s hosts, who reflect on their access to capital and relationship with money, on cultural, political, and societal levels. Join us as we share our thoughts for something more valuable than petty pennies: proactive economic justice. __________________________________________ This Episode’s Hosts: Memphis Cutchlow, Glen McGuire, Fernanda Ponce, Aaron Dyas and Zara Salman Join the KSFam!
