Tell it proud podcast

What’s this about?

Our brains are wired to focus on what is wrong, but this means we often miss the cultural and ethical wisdom right in front of us about what is working, good, and new to find real solutions to our problems.
This podcast features inspiring personal development tips and stories of ethical and cultural wisdom from incredible unconventional leaders, original poetry, pop culture, social justice book reviews, and overlooked historical recaps, curated and produced by Christina Blacken, founder of The New Quo Learning Community, which is a weekly email newsletter and monthly coaching community that helps mission driven folks use the power of personal storytelling and overlooked ethical and cultural wisdom to create a better future. The Tell it Proud podcast will inspire you with overlooked topics that crusty, inequitable leaders often want erased or ignored, because they change the status-quo for the better.

I’m looking for true, non-fiction stories from underrepresented voices to share ethical/cultural wisdom from an experience from their lives/their identity. This first set of stories will be focused on the topic of power. If you’re interested or know someone who could be a fit submit your information below:

Your story

For the first collection of stories, we are focused on the topic of power. What's a true personal or professional experience that taught you about the concept of power that you'd like to share? (2-3 sentence synopsis is fine! Think about a specific experience you can tell a story about when you took a risk, inspired people to take action on something you cared about, had courage to stand up for what is right, went against dominant cultural norms, or made something new in the world that challenges a status quo, ex. going against a belief you grew up with, prioritizing empathy over profit, building a new model that hasn't been seen before, quitting a job, standing up for what's right with a difficult leadership decision, embracing and protecting an aspect of your identity that has been marginalized, leaving a relationship etc)

The Lesson

What are 2-3 pieces of ethical and/or cultural wisdom other people can learn from this specific event/experience? (a sentence for each is fine! Ethical wisdom is morally sound practices/decisions/actions that help the greater good, cultural wisdom is collective knowledge/practices from a community or group that contribute to achieving some form of wellbeing/harmony etc)
