Umoja: Being The Bridge with René Couret | Celebrating The Principles of Kwanzaa. - a podcast by Avi Grace JaeEl

For State The Avious’ Kwanzaa 2020 Umoja conversation Avi Grace welcomes Empress Rene Couret to the State the Avious microphone. This episode lifts up "Umoja", the first principle of Kwanzaa which means "Unity".  The conversation centers around idea of "being a bridge in community" instead of simply "building" a bridge between the deep divides within community. Rene  is a fair skinned Afro-Latina woman from San Diego, California who has lived and traveled across the continental United States many times. She brings wisdom and perspective from the viewpoint of one who lives within the Black/Brown community by choice and who uses their privileges to call attention to privilege itself.

She is known throughout the community as one who will show up and march/protest/lift up the muted voices in society.
