Author: How to Survive the End of the World July 12, 2024 Duration: 58:57

From Prentis Hemphill, the host and producer of the Finding Our Way podcast comes a new podcast: Becoming the People.

Prentis is in conversation with the thinkers, creators, and doers who are exploring some of the most relevant questions of our time: What will it take for us to change as a species? How do we create relationships that lead to collective transformation, and what will it take for us to heal? We hope this podcast helps us uncover the path of how to become the people of our time.

In Becoming the People’s inaugural episode, Prentis is joined by their dear friend adrienne maree brown. adrienne interviews Prentis about their upcoming book, What it Takes to Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World. These two friends discuss Prentis’ journey of writing this book, the role that transformational characters play in change work, and why we should prioritize healing in this painful moment of history.

Get Prentis' new book, What It Takes To Heal.

Sisters Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown host How to Survive the End of the World, a podcast rooted in their shared lives as writers, activists, and facilitators shaped by multiracial diasporic lineages. This isn't a theoretical discussion about distant catastrophes; it's a direct, grounded conversation about the endings we are all already living through-the collapse of systems, the death of old ways, and the personal transformations that feel like worlds dissolving. Each episode delves into the tangible, often messy practices a community needs to navigate these ruptures. You'll hear them explore how we grieve, how we organize, how we imagine futures, and how we find wholeness even as things fall apart. The dialogue is intimate and urgent, moving from the kitchen table to the front lines of social change, always asking what it means to survive with integrity and connection. This podcast operates from the belief that learning to face endings together is the first, most necessary step toward building something new.
