Episode notes
Life in the United States is getting harder and harder, especially for people on the margins. While some choose to emigrate, those who stay are tasked with figuring out how to find joy, community, and care in the United States.
Rox and Zora discuss: How can you survive and thrive in the USA while fighting to make it an easier and better place to live.
Ahead of "Will I Stay or Will I Go," part 2 of the AIC workshop series, Zora Somboonsiri-Satchell joins Rox for a one-on-one conversation on her choice to remain in the U.S.A. and how we can all live better lives.
