E31: The Cookout

It's midsummer. You're going to a cookout.

Who're you inviting? It's a simple question, but that decision could make or break your party.

We used the idea of a cookout as a metaphor for a tight-knit gathering of community with whom we'd like to share stories, ideas, and dreams. Cousin Malia Lazu joins us again to expand the conversation by discussing what community is and how people from different communities could communicate with each other.
