Summary

“What a time to be alive,” adrienne maree brown has written. “Right now we are in a fast river together — every day there are changes that seemed unimaginable until they occurred.” adrienne maree brown and others use many words and phrases to describe what she does, and who she is: A student of complexity. A student of change and of how groups change together. A “scholar of belonging.” A “scholar of magic.” She grew up loving science fiction, and thought we’d be driving flying cars by now; and yet, has found in speculative fiction the transformative force of vision and imagination that might in fact save us. Our younger listeners have asked to hear adrienne maree brown’s voice on On Being, and here she is, as we enter our own time of evolution. This conversation shines a light on an emerging ecosystem in our world over and against the drumbeat of what is fractured and breaking: working with the complex fullness of reality, and cultivating old and new ways of seeing, to move towards a transformative wholeness of living.

0:17.6	I'm Christa Tippett. Up next, my unedited conversation with emergent strategist and social
0:24.4	creative Adrian Marie Brown. There is, as always, a shorter produced version of this wherever you
0:31.4	found this podcast. Hi there. Hi, how are you? Good, it's Christa. I'm so happy to meet you.
0:40.4	It's so good to meet you, Christa. My voice has been in my ear. Oh, that means a lot.
0:46.8	That really means a lot. I'm kind of, well, first of all, I've had a crazy few weeks and I'm
0:59.1	kind of getting back into my body. And then, so we both love science fiction. So sometimes I talk
1:09.5	about my interview preparation technique as the Vulcan Mind Meld approach. I try to kind of
1:17.3	my thoughts to your thoughts, your mind to my mind. So I just try to get inside, not just what
1:23.1	somebody knows or thinks, but how they think. And I have to say, I mean, that has been just so
1:28.7	incredible. Just approaching your mind, your thoughts. And I have all these notes, including a lot
1:40.0	of your own words that I want to just offer back to you and see where you dive from there. But I
1:46.9	also really feel like this is going to, like this interview will be characterized by emergence.
1:52.9	Just feel, right? And so yeah. So I was going to prepare myself. Oh, not me prepare. I'm going
1:59.6	to talk to Christa. And then I was like, Oh, no, you can't prepare. You have to just be. Yeah.
2:05.4	So then I just decided to have lunch. I'm so glad I'm so glad you did that. And I mean, it is,
2:13.0	I think it's my job to, to be the host, right? To take your hand and to ask the questions that
2:18.1	draw you out. But, but I, I, um, yeah, there's just so much here and we won't get to all of it.
2:24.0	And we'll just, we'll see what happens. Okay. Okay. Zach is raising his finger.
