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: Decolonizing Parenthood Episode 3.11
"Being the Bridge in the Shadows of Parenting- Re-membering Each Other, Re-membering Ourselves"
In this episode, we are joined by marlena. We discuss a spiritual toolkit for emotional regulation, especially for children, finding building, and connecting with community as a parent, dealing with big emotions in tiny bodies, and more.
a triple scorpio with a virgo moon, marlena is a bridge of re-membering and transmutation. she accepts the invitation as an intermediary for liminal spaces within the physical and spiritual worlds. as a cultural worker she could have been found some years ago on Lenape territories hosting and performing in poetry events and art shows. she currently is in exchange with plant medicines as an herbalist and diving deeper into divination practices. marlena is queer, multiracial, and multicultural with maternal kampampangan lineages. she is also a birthing parent to fraternal twins, truth and mayari. they currently reside the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Me-wuk/Miwok, Pomo, and Wappo peoples.
