Episode 75: Fireside Chat with Tracie and Angelique
Description
In this annual fireside chat episode of "Gathering Ground," host Mary Morten is joined once again by friends, leaders, and truth-tellers Tracie Hall and Angelique Power. Together in Chicago, they reflect on a year marked by grief, resistance, clarity, and community.
From the normalization of cruelty and censorship to the beauty of collective care and intergenerational strength, this conversation is a raw, reflective, and strategic look at what it takes to keep fighting - and keep feeling - in a world that demands both.
Episode Highlights:
- Angelique shares her reflections on urgency, cruelty, and the clarity required in today’s political climate.
- Tracie discusses her work on Black Information Future and the threats of narrative erasure.
- All three emphasize the role of self-care, ancestral wisdom, and Black joy as essential forms of resistance.
If you’ve been listening to "Gathering Ground" over the years, you know this is one of our most anticipated annual conversations—and we’re so grateful you’re here for it.
