Today we speak with adrienne maree brown. brown is the author behind Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds and Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements.

At the heart of what brown calls Emergent Strategy, is moving towards life and learning from the wisdom of nature to drive our social movements. Emergent Strategy asks us to think about spirituality and transformative justice as central to the resilient future we are imagining together, urging us to really show up, for ourselves and one another, leaning into conflict across horizontal hostility and vicious critique.

Based in Detroit, adrienne facilitates social justice and black liberation through the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute. She also teaches somatics with Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity (BOLD) and Generative Somatics, where she's been a student since 2009. She and her sister co-host How to Survive the End of the World podcast, and she writes the Pleasure Dome column for Bitch Magazine.
