Chattin' with Radio Neighbor Ayasha Tripp, Host of "The Seeds You Sow"

I’m ginormously honored and psyched to talk with Ayasha Tripp on this week's episode. Ayasha is a Writer, Educator, Creative Activist, and I came across her in the stellar podcast, The Seeds You Sow which she hosts and produces here in the KUSF studio. In the myriad hats she wears, she always dons the urgency and importance of social justice that relies on a willingness to keep talking, listening, learning and in turn, changing our lives for the better.  She's an extra special guest, because I'm not sure if my show would exist without her guidance way back in the spring of 2018 where she led a 2 hour podcast workshop which influenced my desire to start my own show. The questions and structure that Ayasha provided were like my personal compass in this last year. Ayasha left me and the others in the workshop with the reverberating impact of Langston Hughes’ quote “The prerequisite of writing is having something to say.” And what draws me to Ayasha most is how she wears so many hats, as a podcaster, producer, activist, film, media and theatre savant, and all of which come around to highlight the value of writing, sharing, and being supportive of causes that create positive social change.
