#170 The Flow of Power (with Dr. Annice Fisher & O.B. Amaechi)
Description
“I know that I was brought on this world to create a multi-sector, multi-generational, intersectional global movement for healing, freedom, and justice.”
— Dr. Annice Fisher
What is power? Where does it come from? How does power flow through our lives, our communities, and our choices?
This week, Dr. Annice Fisher, (leadership coach, founder of Developing Capacity Coaching and author of The Power Within Me) and O.B. Amaechi, (multimodal educator, fashion entrepreneur, and founder of Wake Up The Soul) return to the Wonder Dome to explore how power is misused, how it can be reclaimed, and how each of us can channel it toward healing and justice.
Annice and O.B. draw from their work in leadership, education, and social innovation, sharing stories from classrooms, correctional facilities, and creative spaces where power is embraced not as a tool for domination or destruction, but connection. Through reflective meditations on influence as a flow of energy, the legacy we leave across generations, and the small choices we make that become catalysts for transformation, Annice and O.B. call on us to step into our individual power and wield it with collective care.
"Sorrow Is Not My Name" by Ross Gay
No matter the pull toward brink. No
matter the florid, deep sleep awaits.
There is a time for everything. Look,
just this morning a vulture
nodded his red, grizzled head at me,
and I looked at him, admiring
the sickle of his beak.
Then the wind kicked up, and,
after arranging that good suit of feathers
he up and took off.
Just like that. And to boot,
there are, on this planet alone, something like two
million naturally occurring sweet things,
some with names so generous as to kick
the steel from my knees: agave, persimmon,
stick ball, the purple okra I bought for two bucks
at the market. Think of that. The long night,
the skeleton in the mirror, the man behind me
on the bus taking notes, yeah, yeah.
But look; my niece is running through a field
calling my name. My neighbor sings like an angel
and at the end of my block is a basketball court.
I remember. My color's green. I'm spring.
