In this episode, Christine will be speaking with Yusef, a 47-year-old man raised in Pomo and Coast Miwok territory (AKA Califas, AKA Aztlan, AKA California), but now is a guest (settler/Anglo/Indigenous/Qawalangin) in Lynn, Massachusetts, the historical home of Montowampate and many indigenous cultures including Pawtucket, Massachusett, and Wampanoag. Yusef is a communications professor at a community college where he sees possibilities for arising decolonial futurity. Since childhood, he's been living and working in multicultural environments, significantly shaping his perspective on race and privilege.
