This is Kultivating Kapwa, hosted by Jana Lynne Umipig and Olivia Sawi. In our FIRST series, we sit down and ask Auntie Leny questions about her life, her work, decolonization, academia, ethnoautobiography, her relationship to nature, the land, and all living beings, and her views of the future. In our SECOND series, we have conversations with members of the community and explore how decolonization has manifested itself in their work, and how they cultivate kapwa in their own lives. In our THIRD series, we discuss decolonizing parenthood. We explore how decolonization shows up at home and in family, relational to our collective children. We delve into the intergenerational healing that exists in parenting the next generation, that ripples into our relationships to our elders and ancestors, our community, and all parts of our lives.

Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Core, Episode 2.15A
"Complicating Kapwa - Visioning Solidarity Between Indigenous, Diasporic, and Migrant Peoples Divided by Colonization"
During the next few episodes, we will be focusing our conversations with the Core of the Center for Babaylan Studies. We will be bringing our community in to our intimate conversations around our shared and complex perspectives on the issues being faced in the communities we serve and are working in tandem with, adjacent to, or are challenged by.
This is a moment for our community at large to be in deeper understanding about the power of being in complication and expansion as we seek similar visions of justice and liberation. And, for us as a core to share with you all our processes of understanding what movement can look like, even when not everything feels aligned in our communal pursuit. We hope that you will tune in and be in relation to the sacred work and service to our collective community that we are committed to.
In this episode, we are joined by three members of Center for Babaylan Studies Core, Jen Maramba, Aimee Gomez, and Orion Camero. We discuss, complicate, and challenge the concept and understandings of Kapwa, explore various personal steps to reconciling and healing, discuss these core members' visions and what is seeding their work, and more.
Jennifer Maramba and Aimee Gomez both reside on the ancestral lands of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. They both continue to learn and embody the teachings and sacred contracts of the One Dish with One Spoon Treaty and the Two Row Wampum Treaty.
