Jim Bacarro and Saab Magalona started one of the first local podcasts back in 2018.

Jim and Saab may be the ones doing the talking but they definitely make their listeners feel heard.

Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the Cali ...

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

Today I will be speaking to an international adoptee from Chicago, Julie who is also a author–memoirist, essayist, and columnist– who writes about finding out who you are, where you come from, and making sense of it.
At 48, julie was sent for a breast biopsy. This incident highlighted what closed adoption prevented her from knowing: her birth circumstances, family medical history, and genealogy. The subsequent search for her “personal story” that consumed five years. She chronicles this journey in her debut, award-winning memoir Twice a Daughter: A Search for Family, Identity, and Belonging
We talk on Her newly released book Belonging Matters: Conversations on Adoption, Family & Kinship serves as a companion piece to Twice a Daughter. It is meant to support the adoption community and to create a conversation with those not touched by adoption.
Besides being a writer, she is a mother, grandmother, and an identical twin. Life has provided her many roles to play and experiences to share. For as long as she can remember, Julie has been filling up journals and binders with stories and reminiscences.
Her wish is that you stay here, linger, and find a section from this podcast that resonates. Upon leaving, she hopes you take with you a fresh new idea, perspective, or topic to share with others.
