Activism is a seed that needs to be watered, and it may not bear fruit in our lifetime, but it's about being true to what we believe in and fighting for what's right.
Ever pondered whether activism truly makes a difference? Geno Ray and Kenji Nitta dive into this question in the eighth episode of 'Native As I Can Be'. Kenji, who hosts 'Reverend Kenji: Conversations and Sermons About Jesus and Other Stuff', joins Geno to explore various facets of activism, including the American Indian Movement and the #DAPL protests. They even delve into whether Jesus himself could be considered an activist.
This episode is a thought-provoking mix of questions and reflections, aiming to uncover the essence of effective activism. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics. It questions if activism is all talk and no action, or if it's the best path to real change. The hosts also touch on the power of love over hate and the importance of gratitude and self-reflection in activism.
Their dialogue goes beyond just theory, addressing the struggles with alcoholism and addiction that many indigenous communities face. This episode is a blend of personal stories and broader societal issues, making it relatable and deeply engaging. Geno and Kenji emphasize that activism is like planting a seed—it may not bloom in our lifetime, but it's about staying true to our beliefs and fighting for what's right.
Whether you're a seasoned activist or just curious about the topic, this episode offers a fresh perspective that will leave you thinking long after it's over.
