We are back sharing another special episode in honor of our beloved executive director, Carl Hamad-Lipscombe.

In this conversation, Carl spoke to an expert on the social change ecosystem: Deepa Iyer. Deepa is an activist, facilitator, lawyer, strategist and the author Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection. In this conversation, you’ll hear Carl reflect on his own roles in the social change ecosystem — a critical combination of talent, perspective and skill that are already sorely missed. Thank you all for listening to this special series of episodes in memory of Carl.

Krys Mendez, Special Assistant at Envision Freedom Fund, shares one of Carl’s favorite episodes of the podcast — his conversation with Kenyon Farrow, a writer, editor, strategist, activist and someone he knew and admired for many years. They discuss the intersection of queer liberation and abolition, the meaning of Pride, and much more. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as he did. Stay tuned for more episodes celebrating the life and legacy of Carl Hamad-Lipscombe.

Rosa Santana, Bond Director at Envision Freedom Fund, shares a conversation that was very near and dear to Carl’s heart — his discussion with Rose Berry of BLMP about the intersection of Blackness, queerness, and migration.
