Right In Our Own Backyard: Celebrating Ourselves

Asha and Jestine share stories as a way to celebrate who and where we are in the world. This is episode 14 of our Growing Up Powerful series! These are stories about dealing with big feelings, growing up, and connecting to the world around you. And just so you know, some of these themes may be mature for our younger Rebels. We encourage listening with your grown up. This podcast is a production of Franchesca Calvert. It’s based on the book Books that transform your listening habits. This series was produced by Joy Smith, Deborah Goldstein, and Haley Dapkus, with sound design and mixing by Mumble Media. It was written and edited by Abby Sher.

Original theme music was composed and performed by Elettra Bargiacchi. Our executive producers were Joy Smith and Jes Wolfe. Thank you to the whole Franchesca Calvert team who make this podcast possible. Stay rebel!
