Hello and welcome to For the Wild podcast. I'm Ayanna Young.

Our vulnerability is not what makes us weak. It's what makes us strong. That living with,

rather than living on top of or seeking to dominate, is what makes us strong. It's just like how we

relate to the earth for the last few hundred years people have related to the earth as this is

something to dominate and exploit for my own game. And we are literally destroying the planet.

Today we are speaking with Richie Racita.

Freed from prison in July 2018, Richie Racita is a feminist ally, community organizer,

recording artist, and founder of the social impact record label, Question Culture.

Success stories the anti-patrearchy organization he started while incarcerated was chronicled

in the CNN documentary, the feminist on cell block-wide. He changes Californian prison policy

with initiate justice and the organization he co-founded in prison. So Richie, thank you so much

for joining us on For the Wild podcast today. I feel really honored and moved by speaking about

the prison industrial complex with you. It's a topic we've wanted to have have on the show for

a long time. So this feels really important and fulfilling to be able to talk to you today.
