On this special episode release of Kinda Radical, I'm talking all things braiding. We start with a wide history of braiding that takes us through time and around the globe. We move into specific cultural examples of how braiding can mean more than just a hairstyle; it carries messages, ties you to your ancestors, and demonstrates your heritage and culture. Finally, I explain how braiding is, and will continue to be, political.

On this week's episode of Kinda Radical we are joined by scholar, author, researcher, and professor Benjamin Zeller! 
In 2003 Professor Zeller wrote an article titled We're The Other Catholic Church, Feminism in a Radical Catholic Renewal Community. This article follows the story of Spiritus Christi, a Catholic church in Rochester New York who made waves based on their progressive practices - like having Mary Ramerman become a pastor. Throughout this episode we talk about women's role in the Catholic Church, the representation of clothing in religion and why it played such a symbolic role in this story, and how the church can achieve gender equality in the future.
