adrienne is thrilled to welcome Adaku Utah to Witch School. Baltimore born, Nigeria, Maryland, raised in Festac, Nigeria, grounded in her legacy of organizers, farmers and healers, Adaku harnesses her seasoned skills as a grassroots strategist, holistic healer, transformative facilitator, somatics coach and ritual artist as an act of love and commitment to her community. They enjoy co-cultivating strategic, sustainable, and impactful social justice leaders and organizations. For over twenty years, their work has centered on movements for radical social change, with a focus on gender, reproductive, race, youth, and healing justice.  They are the co-founder of Harriet's Apothecary.

On this episode adrienne and Adaku talk about sabbatical, life beyond what we thought, abundance, the core roots of the magic we’re holding. witchwork as an expression of awe, the taste of joy, the texture of despair, the rhythm of earth seasons, the cycles of the moon, the sounds of drumming and humming and feet on land, receiving the touch of a loved one, the wisdom of ancestors from the underground railroad, mushrooms and crushing on your first babysitter.

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.
