This Is How We Care
Emily Race-Newmark
This Is How We Care is an experimental journey to imagine and embody a world rooted in collective care. Speaking with visionaries and leaders who are currently living in the question of what it means to embody care as a collective practice, we weave together an image of what's possible and connect the dots to actions we can take in our lives today to make this vision a reality. This Podcast was previously known as Founding Mothers, and Season 1 was released under this name.
