We return to you after a brief hiatus to take you to the land of Orisha, and into the journey of a young woman seeking to bring magic back into a world that feels all too real.

Talking Points: The limitations of empathy when it comes from places of privilege; is power only power when it’s used as a weapon; the importance of stories other than our own; how Inan needed to be Zuko, but was too much of a Hamlet to pull it off; questions means nothing if you’re not willing to answer them; how centrism ultimately favors the side of the oppressor; making the personal genocidal; and, hey, don’t let anyone’s ignorance silence your pain.
