About Johanna:

Johanna migrated to America with her family in the 80’s. As a last generation Colombian, her upbringing under the 7 Train in Queens, NYC, was mostly in Spanish. As with many Central, South American and Caribbean countries, both of her Grandmothers were influential and always had a plant for every ailment.
 
From very young, Johanna’s passion was creating. Her drive and determination lead her to graduate with a BFA from Parsons School of Design, only a couple months before Sept. 11. This global event would not only change the course of history but also propel her freelance design career into a full service branding studio with clients like Time Inc., CUNY, Afropunk, Department of Education, HighTimes and Sony Japan.
 
In 2008, during the collapse of the housing bubble which led to the Great Recession, she closed up her design studio and decided to travel the world with her then partner SirRoan. These travels very synchronistically turned into studies of sacred plant medicine, Ayurveda & Curanderismo with different masters from Brazil to New Mexico to heal personal emotional traumas. Johanna has also received certification in Reiki Level 2, Integrated Energy Technique Advanced , a Wasteskun Meztli Canada Moon Dancer and a Vision Quester in Atlantida, Colombia.

11 Sep 2022Remembering Relationality with Copal Resin: Seeding Relations Conference Talk00:20:13

September of 1519 in Yucatan, Mexico. September of 2018 in Denver, Colorado, USA. Copal is a powerful incense across centuries, a scent and ceremonial presence familiar to Indigenous peoples, Mexicans, and Chicanx communities alike. But what happens when copal is stolen from Maya sacred sites and brought to storage in Massachussetts? For over 100 years thousands of bodies from Chichén Itzá have been held in a Harvard museum in Cambridge, Massachussetts, USA. This is  a tragic rupture of a relational network.

This is a bonus episode and based on a paper for Seeding Relations Conference March 2022. Here, I articulate some experiences, reflections, and questions that are emerging during my research and relationships with copalli. These are questions I hope to engage in my thesis and future doctoral work. Thank you for listening!

18 Sep 2020Denver Disparities with LaQueta McCauley - Bonus Episode00:20:15

Talking to LaQueta McCauley about #BLM in Episode 1 was just TOO GOOD, so I couldn't help but share this rest of this conversation.

In this episode we talk about Denver which LaQueta calls "a place for white people to have fun." 

While this is a Denver specific episode, this episode can be seen as a peek into a particular story that has a lot to teach us about the universal reality of urban gentrification and white supremacy in our systems.

Tune in for insights on gentrification + education + entertainment + so much more.

08 Sep 2020The Movement: Black Women Take Back The Narrative01:03:05

In the wake of the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless other black lives lost to police and state-sponsored violence, we have seen a social uprising alongside #BlackLivesMatter. This has been and will continue to be a defining moment in our shared memory of the summer of 2020 and COVID-19. But who is telling the stories of this moment? Capturing the wisdom and insights from marginalized communities? Directly impacted communities must be amplified, so this episode was created to honor the black leaders, teachers, organizers, and everyday people who are regularly erased and silenced.

Today I call up black women in Denver, friends and new acquaintances, to pass them the mic and create a virtual circle to hold stories of strength and suffering and to behold the wisdom of these diverse speakers.

Tune in to listen, learn, laugh, and more. Let's decolonize together.

This episode features the following voices in order of appearance:

***Coming soon: extended interview/bonus episode with LaQueta McCauley on disparities in in Denver from the perspective of a single black mom, entrepreneur, and activist in Denver.

29 Sep 2020The Academy with Dr. Derrick Hudson00:30:20

Should we get rid of the whole idea of tenure? How is the academy a tool of capitalism?

In this episode of Decolonize Everything Dr. Derrick Hudson joins Rebecca in the studio for a conversation about higher education and the institutionalization of learning, wisdom, and knowledge.

We had a blast starting the conversation about rethinking tenure, academic journals, and the framework of "publish or perish" that drives the modern higher education system. Colonization and capitalism have truly affected the way that we show up as students, teachers, and learners and so this episode helps us pull back the curtain on these often unseen forces at play.

Learn more about Dr. Derrick Hudson here: https://hass.mines.edu/project/hudson-derrick/

Note: Since recording this episode in July 2020 I have started my graduate program at Harvard and Derrick is working on the Center for Race, Culture, and Society and Colorado School of Mines. It was such a gift to pause during this moment and capture Derrick's perspectives during the COVID-19 pandemic and the shifting social fabric of our U.S. society.

24 Oct 2020Colonialism & COVID-19 with Alejandra Salemi00:27:33

 Alejandra (Ale) Salemi, MPH joins Rebecca for a conversation on COVID and Colonization.

After graduating with her Masters in Public Health,  Ale spent summer 2020 deployed as a contract tracer for the state of Florida during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We start this show with some time in a virtual sacred circle to breathe and reflect before we dive in to a heavy topic.

Tune in to hear Ale share how the disease disproportionately is harming migrant workers in Florida and gives insights into the way colonialism has affected BIPOC communities and our health and well-being.

She also offers a vision for a world where doctors, researchers, and clinicians come from diverse backgrounds, a future with empowered indigenous heath-care professionals who serve their communities from within. Now as a student at Harvard Divinity School,  Ale is committed to bringing this vision to life through her own work bridging religion and public health.

23 Dec 2020Tending My Altar - End of 2020 BONUS00:12:27

This is a short audio piece from October 2020 that I created for a Harvard Divinity School spiritual practice "pop-up." As you can see from the last two episodes, I learned a lot of this from Maria and Denise and continue to humbly work towards decolonizing my own spirituality through tending to my altar.

As an end of 2020 bonus I want to thank everyone who has come on the show, subscribed, rated, reviewed, listened, and shared!

Thank you for joining me in this creative pursuit to listen well, share practical tips and radical ideas for decolonization, and hold space for a virtual sacred circle with all of you.

11 May 2021Copal & Divinity School - Bonus Episode00:31:59

In this bonus episode I offer critiques of colonial systems and academic assumptions about religion and medicine. I share a bit about my research and experience of an unfolding relationship with copal. The decolonial healing path continues to draw me in. I am deeply grateful and increasingly aware of all that I need to un-learn and re-learn.

This is a project for a wonderful course I took this spring at Harvard Divinity School called "Religion and Healing: An Anthropological Perspective."

I am really grateful for a chance to TALK. IT. OUT. (in the quiet, dark covid-19 cave). Because so much of this year of online school has been in very isolated conditions. So I get a bit nerdy. I'd love to hear what you think!

12 Nov 2023Relating with Dangerous & Dying Animals: Bonus Episode00:59:33

This episode attempts to weaves together personal encounters and academic, historical accounts of human and animal relationships. I reflect on my own encounters with so-called "dangerous and dying" animals--Miko, a reactive dog we adopted; and Francie--a hedgehog dying from cancer. I turn to wisdom from Amazon, Singapore, and ocean mammals.

This was produced as a project for a course called Animals and The Unseen taught by Teren Sevea

This episode is dedicated to Michael Nunziato and Miko. Michael, you've been so dedicated to Miko's wellbeing. Miko, you're such a beautiful being, thank you for letting me love you. You two have taught me so much.

Content warning: the storytelling, particularly in the beginning of the episode, includes stories of animals who can be considered dangerous as well as experiences of animal deaths.

Here are some links from sources mentioned in the episode:

  • Dog & deer from @thedodo
  • Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Undrowned
  • Professor Sevea's work on the miracle workers in Singapore
  • Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Cannibal Metaphysics
  • The Case of the Animals versus Man before the King of the Jinn by Ikwan al-Safa'
  • On tigers see: Dato' Paroï by Zainal Abidin bin Ahmad
  • One example about the state of the Amazon

I also want to acknowledge Professor Teren Sevea for this opportunity to produce this episode as a class project. Additionally, an earlier draft of this story was inspired by courses and conversations with Professors Michael Puett and Janet Gyatso. Thank you to my community: Amy and Henry, Nat and Liri & Lala, Quinn, Rebeccah, Claudia, Jessy and Scout for walking through this experience with me, and to Michael, Miko, Francie, Rūmī for all your patience and love.
