In today's episode, I sit down with Sierra Kennedy - an Indigenous Appalachian single mom of three that's going to law school determined to get past the classist barriers and into the belly of the beast. In this episode we touch on how the legal system was shaped to protect profit and power by keeping poor folks & POC in check, we consider the dual reality of Appalachia's deep majesty contrasted with the pain and trauma that is held in these mountains, and Sierra asks the listeners to be the spark that ignites the wildfire so that as our flames come together, we can burn the whole system down (for legal reasons, I mean this metaphorically).
