For our last Movement Memos episode of the year, I spoke with Palestinian feminist Rana Barakat, who lives and teaches in the West Bank, about Palestinian history, Indigenous resistance, belonging, family, and why she views solidarity as a form of love.
If you need a transcript, you can find that along with audio and show notes here.
This was an incredibly moving episode to work on and I think it’s the perfect way to wrap up the year. As I have mentioned, I will be on a break for the next few weeks. But given that I can rarely keep my thoughts to myself, I might post a thing or two here. We’ll see.
Either way, I am wishing you and yours love, warmth and safety this holiday season. May we all get closer to free in the new year.
Much love,
Kelly
