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 2.21A
"Generative Knowledge Building - The Evolution of Decolonial Work and the Complication and Expansion of Inclusiveness"
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 two members of Center for Babaylan Studies Core, Auntie S. Lily Mendoza and Joanna La Torre. We discuss their starting points for understanding decolonization and decolonial work and how their understanding has evolved, tangible ways the work has shown up in their lives, especially regarding climate justice, what they currently view to be the most challening conversations regarding decolonization and decolonial work, and more.
