When The Border Is You - Episode 40

In this episode, we take a deep and poetic dive into the concept of borders—not just political or geographic, but personal, social, and linguistic. Inspired by the honest and heartfelt poem “Lessons in Borders” by Suzanne Alexa Maria Peñola, we explore how invisible lines can hold immense power over identity, not just how we view ourselves but mostly how we view others. Through conversation and reflection, we unpack the ways borders shape our personhood, define belonging, and often ignore the full humanity of those they seek to contain. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they live in-between and who is searching for a home beyond that which borders cannot contain. Let us know what you think of this episode!
