Representation is a topic that gets talked about a lot these days. We all crave being visible, being heard, being recognized for who we truly are–our unique selves in the world. Which made us wonder–what then actually is representation if it’s so uniquely personal? Host Justin Boone sat down with scientist, Nic Comparato, to better understand what representation means to them as one small step to better understanding why representation matters to all of us.

Movements can be incredibly powerful examples of the human capacity to create change. But this work is never done. Host Justin Boone sat down with Eva Hernandez, an organizer, campaigner, strategist and movement leader, to talk about her important work helping to shape and mobilize the climate movement, as well as just better understand how we keep movements like that one and others alive for new generations.

Host, Justin Boone sat down with writer, Amanda Dennis, to further explore this idea and others.
