In her new book How We Show Up<\/a>, Aspen Global Innovators Group partner Mia Birdsong explores how we make family and community. She \u201cshow[s] that what separates us isn\u2019t only the ever-present injustices built around race, class, gender, values, and beliefs, but also our denial of our interdependence and need for belonging. In response to the fear and discomfort we feel, we\u2019ve built walls, and instead of leaning on each other, we find ourselves leaning on concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, Mia spoke with Kimberl\u00e9 Crenshaw about racial injustice, intersectionality, and community building on The Bridge Podcast<\/a>. \u201cOne of the things that I\u2019m really excited about and want people to pay attention to is the relationships that they are building,\u201d Mia shares. \u201cIn that deepening of relationships is really where really profound and really long term organizing happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
