Episode 3
In this week's episode, Winter Dawn and Kieran are joined by Ashley Dawn Bach (She/They) in a conversation about the ways our lived experience shapes our advocacy and work. Ashley Dawn shares her experience within the child welfare system, and the emotional labour of advocating within systems that have caused harm, while pursuing reconnection to culture and community.
Rather than focusing on outcomes or conclusions, Ashley Dawn and When the Frogs Sleep reflect on how reconnection occurs over time, experience becomes a form of knowledge, and how care and accountability guide the work we choose to take on.
