This night at Harvard changed me and my family’s life forever.
⠀
This miracle happened while discussing Storytelling, Identity, and our Rep Podcast at Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics.
⠀
My Rep journey began with sharing my family’s story in an episode titled “Vanished.”
⠀
It is my biggest honor to present to you our final chapter of the quest we call Rep, “Alive.”
⠀
A story of how our stories lead to revolutions. 🟦

**this will be the last AYS Club we host before I go on leave!!! Really excited to be in community with y’all before this next big CHAPTER.**

The late Phil Donahue on the deterioration of Talk Shows and US Culture (May 2001)

This interview with @televisionacademyfoundation is from May 2001 where Donahue looks back on his career in which he hosted over 6,700 episodes of the Phil Donahue Show.

He also briefly hosted a talk show on MSNBC from July 2002 to February 2003 when he was fired. A leaked internal memo from MSNBC states:

“He represents a difficult public face for NBC in a time of war. He seems to delight in presenting guests who are antiwar, anti-Bush and skeptical of the administration’s motives.”

And that the Donahue Show was “a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity.”

Donahue was one of the most influential talk show hosts and was often referred to as the “king of daytime talk”. Oprah Winfrey has said, “If it weren’t for Phil Donahue, there would never have been an Oprah Show.”

Every year we host an @AYS Iftar to celebrate and nourish the people who have been inspiring us most. When @Babylist asked to join us this year, the intention arrived instantly: Wild Woman to Wild Mother. A gathering of women who give life in all the ways that word can mean.

I love our witchy, wild community so, so much!!!

ps. the first time I heard @iamrotana sing El Helwa Di, I cried and cried. Felt it in my bones. This is the song I sing to my belly the most.
