S2Ep7—“Joy is Not Made to Be a Crumb” with Carolyn Cole

Welcome to So Far, So Good from Baylor University's Diana R. Garland School of Social Work...a podcast to model antioppressive engagement and critical self-reflection for the Baylor community and beyond, hosted by Kerri Fisher &amp; Kayla Mize. So what does that name mean? It represents how far we all are from becoming completely antioppressive but also how good it is to take even small steps toward inner work and systemic change. It also is an acknowledgment of how far outside our own experiences art can take us and how good it is to take in the stories of others.
