I’ve updated the main podcast clips playlist at the Social Justice Origin Stories YouTube channel with a title that more closely reflects its purpose.

Introducing Part of Something Bigger. In this playlist, you’ll find highlights from episodes of Social Justice Origin Stories. Each one can stand on its own, and each is part of something bigger and more connected. These impactful clips offer glimpses into powerful truths, hard-earned insights, and transformational stories. Whether you’re here for a quick spark or deeper reflection, you’re in the right place. Watch, share, and when you’re ready, dive into the full episodes and join the conversation!

Author

Relando Thompkins-Jones

I'm a macro social worker, social justice educator, strategist, and storyteller who leverages media and education to advance equity and social justice within people, organizations, and communities. I started Social Justice Origin Stories because I believe in the power of storytelling and making our experiences accessible to others, because I believe in the liberatory effects of social justice education, to support justice-seekers in finding community and feeling less alone given the relentlessness of oppressive systems, and to be a resource of support and reflection for those who are thinking through how they could best contribute to the work. We need all who can, to do what they can.
