Some Kind of Brown Podcast

I'm still here! It's been a wee bit, but I'm still here and working on getting back to normal. This week we have a surprise guest who is helping me keep it light and fun for this episode. November is here and I have news about Red November. Last year's project was something I'd hoped to continue and expand on this year, but two of my doctors have shut me down. I still have plans to talk about National Native American Heritage Month as much as I can, so let me know if you have anything you'd want to hear or have me share this month. I hope you're all doing well!! 💙💙💙 Natalie More of Some Kind of Brown Offerings Youtube Channel Instagram Twitter Patreon Buy a Coffee --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/some-kind-of-brown-podcast/support

I know it’s cheesy, but what would it really be something from me if I didn’t stick something like that in here? This is a lot more chill than I usually am and especially a more chill topic. Let me know if you like these kinds of stories and what kinds of content you’d like to help us bring some light and joy into every month. I hope you’re well and I’d love to hear your stories about growing up! 💙💙💙 Natalie More of Some Kind of Brown Offerings Youtube Channel Instagram Twitter Patreon --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/some-kind-of-brown-podcast/support

2020 Has been wild and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. I've been thinking of what I can do with all these things coming back to back while also being mindful of myself. I've shared so many experiences I've had that were tough and shaped who I am, so I thought I'd share some stories of things that were beautiful about my childhood. The world isn't black and white and I hope to hear any stories you have of when you were growing up that are happy or really stick out in your mind. Hopefully, these little happy lightning bugs will carry us through whatever comes at us this month. 💙💙💙 Natalie Music at: https://www.purple-planet.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/some-kind-of-brown-podcast/support

How has it already been 2 years?? There's so much going on that I wanted to talk about and I definitely couldn't get to it all in this episode! Between the podcast and the new youtube channel, I hope I'll be able to get everything out to you soon! Before that though, let's touch base! I am seriously so proud to have you as friends and listeners as we navigate this new political climate. No matter how you've spoken out against the injustices in the world and especially with BLM, I really admire the courage and compassion I've seen! I hope you enjoy this episode and will be with me as we take a more positive tone as far as my energy levels haha and head into this election season with all the vigor of our need for better leadership!

Well, it's only been a few internet years! So far 2020 has been a school of hard knocks and I can't say how much support I've felt from those of you who have listened, mentioned me, or reached out. Getting to this mental point is something I don't have experience with and I'm sorry for taking so long to come back. I hope this is a window into my journey right now and that you'll join me as I come back slowly, but surely. Those of you are listening have helped me come back more than I can articulate.

Ok, so I am sort of waving the SOS flag...if one even exists. This is the second part of last week’s episode. I know a lot of us, if not all of us are now quarantined and I'm not going to lie, I am truly, truly struggling. When we finish the collaboration with Mixed Present and Soph, we will be doing live streams 3 days a week of beading and sewing with me where we can hang our and craft until things start to calm down. I hope that these live streams will give us another bright spot in our days. I hope you enjoy this episode and that you are safe.

And we're back with the second episode of our month long collaboration with the Instagram page, Mixed Present! I'm blaming this on our friendship, but this was a super long recording, so I'm splitting it into two. Not to worry though, part two will be out Friday! These episodes are about things we've internalized and societal standards!

It was so good talking to Maria and Erin from Feminists Without Mystique! We talked today about something I've really wanted to talk about when I found the right people. Maria and Erin approach the topic of Whiteness in our current US context with grace and a little humor. It's a super nuanced topic, but one that needs to be talked about! Don't forget we still have buttons and stickers still available!

Black History Month somehow sneaked up on me this year! I want to talk to you about some of my feelings towards Black History Month and my ideas about how to observe all the US heritage months in a way that everyone feels seen while I work on my MMIWG2S series. Please let me know your thoughts and how you'd like to see me approach these months in the future!

I am so excited for you to hear this episode! Sofia and Sydney from Brown and Bonita are such sweethearts and so incredibly smart! They are joining us in this episode because I noticed myself saying that everything is so much better for Gen Z than my Millennial life growing up. But is that really the case? Maybe things have changed, but maybe not so quickly. I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear where you fall on this topic!

Are you a little shocked by the fact I'm talking about Goop or The Goop Lab Show on Netflix? It actually came at the perfect time when my brain was already coming to grips with some aspects of reconnecting with my Native culture. This is probably the topic I'm most shy about, which might not make sense with the episode posted two weeks ago, but give this episode a listen and you might understand why. If you have been experiencing something similar, please let me know on any of my social media! It can't just be me out here!

Today, Sharmane from Militantly Mixed is joining us to talk about what's happening with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. This situation is nuanced and we both have a lot of feelings. In the end, I'm left feeling disappointed in society. Am I the only one?

So today I am going to tell you something new. It's heavy, but it's also National Stalker Awareness Month and I think it's important to share my story as well. These issues need to be talked about more and thank you to Hope from Radiant Mix Podcast and the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Indigenous Women for drawing my attention to this awareness month! Just in case, I do want to mention that I do refer to rape and abuse in passing, without any details, so please skip this episode if this makes you uncomfortable. That being said, thank you for listening to my story and I hope that at least some part resonates with you.

 There have been so many of you who listened to and shared the press release about Emily's relative during Red November. We have an update now and our sister has unfortunately walked on. To respect Yakama traditions of not saying the name or sharing the picture of someone who has passed for a year, I will be doing the same.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/some-kind-of-brown-podcast/support

This is part 2 of the conversation with Brandi and Danni, the great minds behind the Art Sistory podcast. In this half, we really dive deep into how they identify and I learned a new way of looking at identity. Identity is something that can be clear and defined,  fluid and every changing, or a little of both and I hope that this episode inspires you! This is the last episode of 2019 and I hope that you close out the year with people who love you. I'll see you in 2020!
