The Building Our Own Tables podcast offers a sonic journey of liberation that blends global majority voices, music, and wisdom to forge tables of justice, healing, and love. Supporting all leaders on their path while centering voices of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and multiracial creators, the podcast fosters solidarity and cultural wisdom in the pursuit of racial, social, and climate justice worldwide. Stemming from Yura Sapi’s background as a theatre artist, it arose from a desire to create inclusive spaces rather than seek representation at existing tables. Learn more about LiberArte, Yura’s nonprofit that supports liberated spaces like this one.
