The Nourish Podcast

Episode 5: Art & Organizing

As we collectively struggle for a better world, it can often be difficult to truly envision what we are creating. Thankfully, in Seattle we are surrounded by artists and creatives that can give us visual representations of this better world. This month, Nourish host Nica Sy joins local artist Lourdez Velasco to talk about the intersection between art and organizing. To support Lourdez’s work, find them on Instagram @tendervirgo and patreon.com/tendervirgo. Shoutout to the collective that Lourdez calls home, @twocsolidarynetwork!

Episode 4: Indigenous Organizing

In the Pacific Northwest, the land we live on exists due to the care and stewardship of Coast Salish tribes from time immemorial. This month, Nourish host Nica Sy sat down with Indigenous organizers Ixtli and Patanjali to hear their stories of ancestry, family, and how their Indigenous roots connect to their movement work.

Episode 3: Super Familia

As national attention is brought to the extreme human rights violations taking place at the US southern border, we want to highlight the stories of immigrants in our own backyard. In this episode of the Nourish Podcast, host Nica Sy shares a conversation with members of Super Familia. Super Familia is a grassroots group providing community and mutual aid for undocumented and unaccompanied youth in King County. Listen in to hear Steve, Jose, and Rosario share their stories of family, community organizing, and of course, food!
