Collective Revolution Towards Humanity

With Reyna Grande

Join the conversation as author and activist Reyna Grande discusses her books, immigrants, migrant rights, and the film she's producing, "The Samaritans: Compassion Knows No Borders."

We talk about allyship, good Samaritans, migrant camps, how her writing is inspired by her life, what she has witnessed while providing aid at the border, why people are migrating and what the possible causes of migration are. We also have a lively conversation about gardening, coping through creation, sharing with community, dismantling for growth, upside down plum turnover cake, and menopause. You will be definitely be hungry and inspired during this informative discussion. 

Then stay tuned for a special After Dark segment on accents and feeling self conscious about language and performance. Then Reyna gives us all a special reading of her poetic prose "Never Enough Dandelions," as she reflects on father’s life and struggle with cancer, and her desire to nourish him with foraged dandelions. 

This episode will be on KQBH 101.5 fm, kqbhla.com, and on the LPFM LA app, on August 4th, 3-4 pm PST. But you can only catch the last segment of The Collective: After Dark here on Spotify and Substack.

We are all apart of the collective. It is not a special group or community out of anyone’s reach. The trees, the earth, the plants, the insects, the animals, and humans are all apart of the collective. We each have something to give to the world and our communities around us. It’s in knowing how to care for the ones we love, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. It is all self-care. Community care is self-care. And together we are more than community, we are like the stars singing in the sky. We are music and our voices are the hum of the universe. Because we are of the earth and things of stars, and so is every thing on this earth.

My dream is that one day we will all come together to make this world a better place.

The Collective by Gina Duran
The Collective focuses on everyday people to share the stories of those who do work for our communities and inspire love, connection, and empowerment. It is about those who bring us together to care for the impoverished, those with disabilities, immigrants, disadvantaged youth, and the planet. It is a space for conversation and an exchange of ideas with those who work to spread communal love in a collective effort to bring us all together as One.
