What this episode covers
We are celebrating JUNETEENTH! All. Month. Long. The theme for our Juneteenth commemoration is Creative Liberation. Inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumbs teaching that "Freedom isn't a secret. It is a practice," the Stitch Please podcast celebrates the many ways that Black women, girls, and femmes continually practice creative ways to get, be, and stay free. "Sometimes beauty is calling out the B.S.!" On today’s episode, Lisa is spending time with the wonderful Lydia Diaz, the mastermind behind Clever Girl Craftings. They discuss processing trauma, using crafting as a means of spiritual healing, and navigating the dangerous roads of Pinterest. Lydia seamlessly blends her crafting, bible verses, and her social and political activism to use her platform to highlight and promote the value and beauty of black people, especially those who are treated as disposable in their community by white friends and acquaintances. You can follow her work on Instagram and YouTube or purchase her creations from her Etsy shop. Content Warning: Explicit discussion of Charlottesville, VA white supremacist terror attacks.
