Becoming A Reflection Of Our Most Authentic Selves with Taylor S. Hunter

Photographer, wellness guide, and artist, Taylor S. Hunter (she/her), joins BGIO founder Lauren Ash (she/they) in conversation around building self-trust and getting specific about our dreams. Taylor invites us to expand our perceptions of self by stepping into all parts of who we are, shadows included. Lauren and Taylor discuss how we can build self-trust and avoid wasting time by looking to ourselves as sources of insight instead of defaulting to others. As Taylor affirms, "your canvas is yours." Press play to listen in on how both Lauren and Taylor are authentically co-creating the present moment with the universe.

Natural hair care stylist Caprice Dominique joins Lauren in conversation around naming and claiming our desires. Caprice has been blessing Lauren's life and hair for several years with her healing hands and personal touch of love and compassion. She's all about empowering Black women to own our unique hair journeys. She encourages us to love our hair and ourselves holistically, and affirms that self care is about so much more than the products we use on our hair or on our bodies. It's also about our patterns of self-talk and our healing practices. Lauren and Caprice share how they keep their ancestors present, and how this active connection helps them to feel rooted in unconditional worthiness and a sense of belonging within the collective consciousness. As both women affirm, we deserve to have the things we want. Press play to listen in on a heartfelt conversation between friends about trusting ourselves to claim our blessings unapologetically.

The new anthology is published May 4 by W. W. Norton and Company in association with the Library of Congress.

Edited by Joy Harjo, the first Native poet to serve as U.S. Poet Laureate, "LIVING NATIONS, LIVING WORDS: An Anthology of First Peoples Poetry" is a powerful, moving anthology that celebrates the breadth of Native poets writing today. The new anthology is published by W. W. Norton & Company in association with the Library of Congress.

As Poet Laureate, Harjo has championed the voices of Native peoples past and present. Her signature laureate project at the Library of Congress gathers the work of 47 contemporary Native poets into a national, fully digital map of story, sound and space, celebrating their vital and unequivocal contributions to American poetry.

This companion anthology features each poem and poet from the project - including Natalie Diaz, Ray Young Bear, Craig Santos Perez, Sherwin Bitsui and Layli Long Soldier, among others - to offer readers a chance to hold the wealth of poetry in their hands. The chosen poems reflect on the themes of place and displacement with focal points of visibility, persistence, resistance and acknowledgment. Each poem showcases, as Harjo writes in her stirring introduction, "that heritage is a living thing, and there can be no heritage without land and the relationships that outline our kinship."

In this country, poetry is rooted in the more than 500 living Indigenous nations. "LIVING NATIONS, LIVING WORDS" is a representative offering. The anthology will be incorporated into Harjo's outreach as U.S. Poet Laureate during her third term.

The project also includes a new online audio collection developed by Harjo and housed in the Library's American Folklife Center, which features the participating poets reading and discussing their original poems.

The new 222-page book is available in paperback ($15.00) from the Library of Congress Shop, https://library-of-congress-shop.myshopify.com/ and from book retailers worldwide.

[playful music plays, then fades behind voices]

Haeny: My name is Haeny Yoon, and I'm an Associate Professor of Early Childhood in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching.

Nathan: This' Nathan Holbert. I'm an Assistant Professor in the Program of Communication, Media and Learning Technologies Design.

Haeny: We're excited to introduce Pop and Play. A new podcast from Teachers College.

Nathan: We really like to play. And so we decided we should make a podcast about it. This is a podcast about pop culture, and a podcast about play. Not a scholarly exercise of defining terms, but rather an act of playful construction. Of building out the possibility space of play. Its tools, its artifacts, its focus and purpose - and, we think - its value to the world.

Haeny: So we do this by having conversations with scholars, artists, designers, parents and kids about how and why they play.

Nathan: We think this question matters. Not just to satisfy our own playful curiosity, but also because we believe the act of collectively making the world a better place for all people goes straight through play.

Haeny: So every episode, we'll invite a guest to come and chat, hang out and play with us. We'll talk to them about how play is part of their scholarship, their work, but most importantly their lives.

Nathan: And along the way, we'll probably play with some stuff too.

[audio clip from game being played]

Nathan: I- Is it a cardboard box?

Lalitha: No.

Nathan: [laughs]

Haeny: 's very specific.

Lalitha: [laughs] [indistinct]

Nathan: Ah yeah, sorry sorry. [laughs]

Haeny: You just took a big risk there.

Lalitha: I know.

Haeny: [laughs]

Nathan: I went- I went for it!

[Haeny and Lalitha laugh]

Nathan: Just think, if I'd been right, we would have all been like whooooah!

[all laugh]

[back to narration]

Haeny: The music here is a selection from Leafeaters by Podington Bear. Subscribe to Pop and Play wherever you listen to your podcasts.
