Claiming Power for Self + Sharing Power across Generations, Part 2 with Mary E. Scott Boria

"We've got to believe that there's a 'next point' that's going to be better… if we don't believe that, how do we encourage [young people] to believe in that?" - Mary Scott Boria Every person desires (and deserves) respect and collaboration. How can we work together in intergenerational spaces for social justice to create shared power that makes a real and collective difference?  In this episode, you'll hear Part 2 of Mia's two-part conversation with Mary Scott Boria. They talk about their lived experiences as young activists seeking mentorship and seasoned activists learning to mentor.  Mary and Mia discuss how to create and invite dialogue between generations, how they might build a conversation (rather than deliver a lecture), how to build intergenerational relationships and collaborations, plus how to acknowledge the personhood of the people they're working with (and why that's important). Mary also tells Mia about her intergenerational book club (that gathers more for conversation than reading books!) and why she encourages everyone she mentors to find a way to nurture their soul.  "[To young activists:] We see you. We're still here. We're in this together. And we love you." - Mia Henry & Mary Scott Boria Episode Webpage
