Heart of an immigrant

Cultural approach in activism and social change with Talia Molé

I'm incredibly grateful to be able to share this episode. Talia Molé believes in the artist as a rebellious and revolutionary teacher whose purpose is to disrupt the status quo inspiring conversations that lead to greater questioning and awakening within a communal body. As an artist, she has dedicated her time to understanding social change through different social spaces and disciplines within academia and beyond. She molded and polished her role as an activist/scholar with the help of a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance, an M.S. in Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Social Change. Her field of research and exploration emerges from lived expressions of mother/motherhood/mothering, within marginalized populations, that serve as a radical remembrance of matriarchal ancestry, lineage, and community. Braiding multiple artistic mediums with counseling modalities and traditional practices (such as storytelling, meditation, breathing techniques, and image cards), Talia finds joy in facilitating difficult conversations, while holding space for healing and creative exchange. Her greatest goal is to continue using her artistry as a process of learning and (un)learning that inspires the disruption of systems of oppression, cultivates fruitful curiosity, and nurtures aesthetic platforms that generate collaborative imagining toward meaningful revolutions. She is currently working on her forthcoming book “Motherhood Phoenixing: Queer REBELations.”LinkedIn~Talia Molé, Ph.D., MFT, MHC, CHI™https://www.linkedin.com/in/tmtalia/Podcasts and episodes~La Vida Más Chévere: de Childfree Latinas https://podcast.pauletteerato.com/1948831/14126930Matter of Life and Debt https://matteroflifeanddebt.com/episode-52-matriarchies-shifting-paradigms/Short film regarding my dissertation (YouTube)~CIIS "Work that Matters" Series~Queering Motherhood: An Inquiry with Talia MoléFollow Heart of an Immigrant on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/heart.of.an.immigrant/Visit our websitehttps://www.heartofanimmigrant.com/podcast
