Summary

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.
