Americans Leaning In
by K. Belle
This is one person's bipartisan search for understanding and common ground regarding aspects of American identity outside of political affiliation. Here, there may be points of discomfort as differences arise, but I am asking interviewees and listeners alike to "lean in"...to engage and remain open to new perspectives. Over the next several months, I’ll be approaching Americans from all walks of life, different political orientations, genders, religions, career paths, cultural backgrounds, and I’ll be asking them questions about their identity as an American and then sharing about it here.

Equal Rights and Incivility
The first thing I will say about this particular interview is that it is a huge deal that the interviewee allowed me to walk through these questions with her in the first place. She is my Grandmother and approaching her to discuss this topic required a lot of vulnerability from me too, because I...

Ep. 4: Evolution not Revolution
I met this respondent a few years ago when we were both participating in Maker Faire. His background is, as he will tell you himself, unconventional and varied. He is an artist and an educator and at present is engaged in an endeavour that builds community, educates, and empowers through the...

Ep. 3: Personal development and the collective good
This next interview is a little longer but packed full of insights from this interviewee, who I met hosting on a ranch in Southern Colorado. He grew up in the Midwest but has traveled and explored quite a lot since then, started two businesses, and has recently moved into a van to travel even a...

Ep. 2: Opportunity and Divisiveness
I met this interviewee at a ranch where my boyfriend and I were doing some hosting in Southern Colorado earlier this year. He’s 20 years old, and a political science major at Mississippi State but over the summer, he came out with two of his buddies to work on the ranch. When we all got to…
