23 - What Does Justice Look Like to You? w/ SHIRLEY BROEKSTRA (Transformative Justice Part 3)

This week we are so excited to bring you the final episode of our
Transformative Accountability and Justice Initiative series! Once
again, we welcome SHIRLEY BROEKSTRA to chat with us about our
experiences conducting research on finding  an alternative
model of justice, and what our findings were. The team shares how
the survivors involved in our research truly impacted us all, and
the importance of reading the declarations within our final
report. Shelleena, Nneka, and Shirley then also teased some of
our findings, but we strongly encourage, and ask, you to read our
entire final report, which can be found here:

But first, we opened with our check-in a little differently this
week. Given the recent rise in anti-Black racism within both the
United States and Canada, and the global uprising in support of
the Black Lives Matter movement, our podcast format shifted a bit
this week. Understanding the importance of amplifying Black
voices (while also being critical of white silence, and the
violence this causes) Shelleena stepped aside this week to give
space for KARIA JONES (@motorkay) to join Nneka
during our check-in. Please listen, learn, and commit to doing
the work of anti-racism every single day!


This week we’re drinking Stoneleigh Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc,
Cape One Moscato, Jackson-Triggs Reserve Chardonnay VQA, and 13th
Street Burger Blend Rose VQA. We gave these wines a buzz rating
of 5/5, 3.5/5, 4/5, and 3.5/5 respectively.
