Claiming Joy, Pursuing Liberation with Hannah Curtis (S4: Pre-Season Episode)

This short pre-season podcast episode is an introduction to Hannah Curtis, the new co-host of A Soulful Revolution!About Hannah:I am a mother, spouse, friend, and mentor; agitator, advocate, and activator; someone who contains multitudes and is still trying to figure it all out; a complicated, dedicated Christian. I’m also a certified Silly Goose.I strive to bring a unique blend of passion, humor, and relatability to all that I do, and I’m thrilled and honored to have been invited to participate with SR! You can usually find me talking about educational equity, poetry, theology, personal style, or Top Chef (my favorite show); singing and dancing with my kids; advocating for the oppressed; or taking thirty minutes to leave after I’ve already said goodbye at a party. I am someone who loves languages, language, words, and the way we choose to express ourselves. I am a theopoeticist - I am active and engaged in the considerations of how we understand, construct, manifest, and experience God. I am a praying woman! I believe in prayer and the power of community to nurture and heal us.I’m a person who loves getting to know other people and figuring out how the Divine shines through them. I’m glad to be joining this podcast at a time when voices calling for justice must be louder than ever, and I’m glad to be in like-minded company on this journey. To quote one of my favorite poems, “I love you. I’m glad I exist.”Resources:The first interview with Hannah, from the archiveHannah's InstagramLucille Clifton's "spring song"The Oscar Romero Prayer, "Prophets of a Future Not Our Own" This is a public episode.
