New Playlist Updates: Episode Intros and Podcast Clips

Episode Intros!

Available for viewing on Social Justice Origin Stories’ YouTube Channel.

Every story has a beginning. This YouTube playlist will allow you to explore the powerful opening moments of Social Justice Origin Stories’ episodes. These introductions set the stage for deep conversations about justice, equity, and the experiences that shape advocates and changemakers.

Whether you’re new to the podcast or a longtime listener, these clips offer a glimpse into compelling stories of becoming, resistance, and working for a better world. Links to the full episodes are included in the video descriptions.

No effort is wasted in the growth process. The idea for creating this playlist came to me while I was preparing materials for a fellowship I was applying for. While I ultimately didn’t get it, that process of preparation allowed me an opportunity to clarify my storytelling language for Social Justice Origin Stories, while also organizing the media in a way that will help me save time on the next opportunity.

The Episode Intros playlist will be updated regularly as new clips are created.

Podcast Clips

This playlist features highlights from episodes of Social Justice Origin Stories, designed for busy changemakers or those who prefer to use their watch or listening session time to explore snippets from multiple stories, rather than the long-form format.

Perfect for a quick dose of inspiration or as an introduction to the full episodes. Watch, share, and when you’re ready, head over to the full episodes (linked in each video description) and join the conversation!

The Podcast Clips playlist will also be updated regularly as new clips are created.

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.
