October 2022 – Liel Bridgford

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Renay Barker-Mulholland. We talked about poetry, parenting, how intersectionality relates to quilts, what does being an artist mean, and gatekeeping. It was an honour to be the first person to read Renay one of her very own poems, and hear her reaction. We also chatted about the juxtaposition between femininity and roughness, politics, collaborations with our kids, and more.

Content note for mental health, poverty, ableism and gatekeeping – please take care as you listen.

In this episode, I had an enriching conversation with Sonja Plitt, whose eloquent honesty impressed me. It was particularly powerful to hear their journey with gender, and with national shame.

We talk about national perpetrators and victims, intergenerational trauma, gender, labels, how language impacts and shapes reality, cultural shame, mental health and much more.

Content note: mental health, Holocaust, intergenerational trauma, sexual assault, ableism and transphobia
