Beyond the Cacophony with Sarah Jones

Sarah is a Tony-winning performer, writer, and director and the host of the America, Who Hurt You? podcast. As a Black woman from a multicultural background, she is devoted to building a movement that promotes collective healing and affirmation for all people, starting with Black women and femmes.

Our conversation was in the wake of the election results, and both Sarah and I were navigating the weight of what was to come. Sarah’s guidance to stay grounded through grief and fear is crucial for all of us in this current moment.

We talk about the intersection of politics, identity, trauma, and wellness, as well as the over-saturation of information, misinformation, and disinformation. 

Sarah’s ultimate call is one of hope: What is the healing that will bring us home to ourselves and to each other?
