In this episode, we have a conversation initiated by our failed attempts to find “Home.” We speak about the abstractness of this concept, how it both informs and is informed by identity, our multilingual and multiracial upbringing, and discuss what it means to call bodies homes.

In this episode, we speak about COVID-19 and Capitalism, the ways in which the world at large is experiencing ableism, about Disability Justice, issues with the American healthcare system, and interdependence. “It is only when illness affects us all, only when everyone recognizes they are ill that the Hegemony will notice the ways in which Capitalism is generating illness. Once the majority is rendered ill the ability to suck blood out of our veins will be hindered. Disease is incapable of existing without first creating illness. And the illness Capitalism produces is its own greatest flaw.” Hannah: @hannahnishatbotero Tania: @tanianibo
