Information shared includes the guest name (Sonali Fiske, a Sri-Lankan born woman with brown skin and dark hair tied up under a black brimmed hat, looking at the camera and wearing red lipstick) and title (BIWoC Revolutionaries Take the Mic®), a photograph of the host, Amanda Lytle, a white woman with long light brown hair and glasses, and icons for Spotify, RSS feed, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts.

There are also geometrical neon shapes and lens flares accenting the image.
Sonali Fiske is a woman-identified, Sri Lankan-born, California-grown leadership mentor, radio talk show host, spoken word artist, writer, international speaker, and mama to one teenaged-son. Her everyday work is to fortify and amplify revolutionary BIPoC voices in a collapsing white-dominant, colonized landscape. Sonali specifically mentors trans and cis womxn and non-binary and gender nonconforming people who are open to being in femme centered space. Her other devotions are centering racial justice and social change on her show, writing to heal, ocean talk as soul survival & her mother’s rice & curry. Sonali is also a part of the local International Council of Interfaith & Indigenous Women. She speaks 3 languages, has visited 32 countries (so far), and is living out her life story in Orange County, CA.
In the conversation today, we dive into the acronym BIWoC, and how Sonali uses it in her work. We hear about the background to BIWoC Revolutionaries Take the Mic, and how sacred rage and sacred listening can be used to serve and for growth and healing.
