In Episode 17 of With(in) -- Same Planet, Different Worlds -- we delve into the ways people look at the world and how our own preconceived paradigms shape that perception, especially when it comes to race, privilege and economic disparity. With(in) Music Producer Travis Barnes (incarcerated at Denver Reception Diagnostic Center) explains why, in the effort to transform yourself, what you have seen is not always as important as what you discover. Next, we interview people from all races, genders and walks of life, asking them what shaped their world, a hard question with hard answers. They share about family, faith and violence, health, humanity and the stigmas of race, the power of hate versus the value of choice. Co-hosts Andrew Draper (incarcerated at Sterling Correctional Facility) and Denise Presson (incarcerated at Denver Women’s Correctional Facility) discuss our one-size-fits-all society, and how our differences make us uniquely amazing, fusing us into a tapestry of culture and heritage. Finally, Executive Producer Dr. Ashley Hamilton and Travis Barnes deliberate on change, the factors involved in creating that change, and the dynamics necessary to see humanity in someone else’s world in a system created to keep us separated.
