New Playlist Update: Weaving Our Voices

By Relando Thompkins-Jones
August 7, 2025

Subscribe on YouTube | Follow on Apple Podcasts | Listen Across Platforms


The Weaving Our Voices playlist on the Social Justice Origin Stories YouTube Channel brings together the multi-storyteller series from Social Justice Origin Stories.

Here, individual interviews converge into shared reflections. Whether exploring what social justice really means, offering wisdom to future generations, or inviting us to take something meaningful with us, these curated compilations reveal powerful patterns that emerge when our voices are woven together.

In each piece, you’ll hear storytellers in conversation…not always directly, but in rhythm and resonance as their insights, struggles, and dreams overlap, contrast, and build on one another.

Ubuntu!

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.
