Chi Cannon: How to Raise the Volume of the Silenced.
Description
It's not just because we host a podcast, but recently we can't stop thinking about the concept of "voice." Who has a voice to tell their own stories, and how do you get people to listen? How do you find your own voice -- and how to help ensure everyone gets a chance to be heard.
That's why we're so excited to have Chi Cannon on this episode. Chi believes prisoners’ voices are an essential part of the conversation. Chi comes from a family in Richmond, VA, in which 9 out of 10 children were incarcerated at some point. As an adult, Chi is passionate about giving voice to those who don't often get heard. She works as a producer for the podcast "Uncuffed" - going into prisons so that incarcerated people can tell their own stories.
In this episode, we hear all about Chi's work - in prisons, behind the camera, and so much more. Plus, tune in to hear Tarzan and Makvala explore frog anatomy.
