Description

In this episode of the Leadership Moves Podcast, we speak with Raven Loaiza, who shares a personal story that highlights the dehumanizing impact of detention and deportation on mixed status, immigrant families. The conversation that follows encourages us as leaders and advocates to ask ourselves:What happens when we, the advocates, need advocacy? How do we show up for work and ask for support? And What happens when we are led by people who teach us that vulnerability is okay, so long as you feel safe being vulnerable?Building trauma-informed and resilient organizations takes a group of leaders who are willing to understand the complexities of each individual person’s lived experience with violence and oppression.This project is supported by Grant No 2020-TA-AX-K022 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this program are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.

These are the stories of leaders of color who carry the legacies of those who built the movement to end gender-based violence. They carry on the fighting spirit of giants who have moved on from this work like Sojourner Truth, Grace Lee Boggs, bell hooks, Ida B. Wells, Audre Lorde, and Yuri Kochiyama. We talk about the ways they have been harmed by this world while trying their hardest to keep their passion for the movement alive. Consider this our love letter to them and to aspiring leaders of color looking for belonging, inspiration, and affirmation.
