All We Want is Everything with Soraya Chemaly
We're not joking when we say this one is required listening. Mariquita talks with author and activist Soraya Chemaly about her latest book, All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy. Soraya explains how male supremacy is the structure upon which all of our systems are built, whether they be close to home or on a global scale. Together, Soraya and Mariquita give suggestions for how to create a different environment and patterns of behavior both individually and collectively and emphasize that the work of educating men on the burdens and breadth of male supremacy is not the onus of women but is the responsibility of men.

Girls Play Dead with Jen Percy
Mariquita talks with Jen Percy about her recent book, Girls Play Dead: Acts of Self-Preservation. Based on her article, What People Misunderstand About Rape, Girls Play Dead expands the conversation about the myriad responses to sexual assault and rape, weaving in personal stories and historical context. Their conversation covers the common reactions of tonic and collapsed immobility, evolutionary ways humans have evolved to survive trauma, and how colonialism and individualism can stymy recovery for some survivors who instead would benefit from collectivism and community care.
