Live, Lift, Love Podcast

Had an amazing conversation with Steff and Muddy, two leaders behind Denver's Melanated Mic Night (IG @melanatedmic). We start by discussing what led Steff and Muddy into activism, focused on doing more for BIPOC communities. We touch on community importance, being consistently active in any capacity, organizing, and breaking free from systemic oppression. We also discuss being first-generation Americans and the balance in finding identity in the U.S. while also honoring the culture and history of our parents and ancestors. The episode closes out discussing Melanated Mic Night, a weekly community gathering of all people to support and amplify the voices of BIPOC community members. Steff and Muddy share their most memorable moments and the rally to support one of the lead protestors, Trey Quinn.
