WF Podcast TWO: Conversation with José

Friends: I’m finishing final edits tonight on:

I think this is turning into a great episode. It's nice to hear from José in conversation, in addition to his keynote speech in Podcast 1.

José talks about:

what does it mean to be Black?
how he came to Quakerism as a young Black Latino man
his linguistic journey/language(s) and his work
cool as confidence
working through internalized racism
His journey from Catholicism to Quakerism
Finding meaning in his work and what (policies) he’s working on at the moment:
- ending perpetual punishment
- working with violence interrupters to end gun violence

And mark your calendars to join in another online conversation – Tuesday, Septebmer 14 – about this podcast.
