In this episode Jennifer speaks with author, teacher and trans-public intellectual Bayo Akomolafe about what’s revealed when we become lost and bewildered. Through story, myth and examples of ecological errancy, Bayo encourages us to stay with the trouble.

With laughter and curiosity they explore—

How to cultivate “lostness” in a world that privileges certainty
The limits of inclusivity politics
Why hiding is a courageous act of refusal
How we’re transformed by spontaneous acts of creativity

Tune in for an intimate and rich conversation about how we navigate separation and belonging in an entangled universe where bewilderment becomes a living portal of possibility
