Taking Up Spaces of Power And Using Your Influence To Ignite Change With Caila Coleman

This episode IS A MUST!!!! It is truly about as honest as its going to get. The conversation I was craving on The Stranded phase and I am sure you are too was an honest one that I knew would make many uncomfortable. A conversation about racism, white people, colorism, micro-aggression, protesting, and what keeping this movement alive and well actually looks like WHILE talking about the history so many of us aren't aware of before we open our mouth.

In this incredible episode we talk with criminal and family law attorney, Caila Coleman, about the Black Lives Matter movement. This is nothing of an incredible and vulnerable perspective from a black woman who is responsible for upholding the law. I sincerely wanted to hear the thoughts from people of color who were in roles where they were sworn to serve and protect and uphold the law while it feels as if most Americans don't.

In this episode, we discuss how even a woman who is responsible for serving and upholding the law deals with constant stereotyping and racism. We discuss colorism in the black community and how the law is different for darker skinned individuals.

Caila helps us understand micro-aggressions and how there are little limits to where they exist. She stresses to us that it is time to speak up but not to overpower the voices of those that are oppressed.

Caila even discusses with us understanding your prosecutors roles and be careful who you elect into those roles and why it is so important for her to become a judge. From code switching to code words used to explain to black youth how to behave in public, this episode is to purely enlighten and one that EVERYONE involved needs to hear.

I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve only been listening for about 2 weeks but I’m hooked. The messages are always engaging. Jessica doesn’t fill up her talk time with a bunch of fluff and the content is always relatable. It’s amazing how authentic she is. The Stranded is definitely a MUST listen.

I fell in love with Jessica’s podcast. Her guest interviews are so great. My favorite episodes are her 1 year podcast anniversary, which listed all her hurdles and things she learned about her self that made it super relatable to the journey I am embarking on. Her partner interview about your significant other support you in business was so real and put into words what I wanted and how my relationship is with my significant other about is going into business together and supporting each other. Great inspiration!!
