As Julie Dawkis alludes to in systems, her poem for Dream Beyond, the fifth issue of To The People zine, our collective healing happens first as a dream, a thought. But what happens next is what makes all the difference.

As we gear up for an election in which record-breaking numbers of women are running for office, the YTTP fam is feeling particularly inspired to Dream Beyond™. In season 00 episode 03 of To The People Podcast, you’ll meet two friends of YTTP who are working to build up women and femmes and ensure our equitable futures.

This Sunday on To The People, meet Céline Semaan—designer, writer, advocate, and founder of the non-profit Slow Factory. In conversation with host Alyssa Shapiro, Céline drops some knowledge on the importance of open education, decolonizing education, being involved in your community, and knowing who you are.

Every Sunday, you’ll meet visionaries and community builders who are creating the changes they dream of seeing in the world. In season 00, episode 01, Alyssa is joined by YTTP co-founder Greg Gonzalez and Deun Ivory—the multidisciplinary artist and founder of nonprofit, The Body: A Home For Love.
