The Persimmon Tea Episode 1: The Power of Words (with D.Colin)

In our debut episode of The Persimmon Tea, we explore the chilling impact of language suppression—specifically the list of words banned by the Trump administration at the CDC and other government agencies; these words include woman, diversity, transgender, racism, and vulnerable.

We’re joined by poet, playwright, and artist D. Colin for a powerful conversation about the erasure these bans represent, the profound impact of language, and how we can use our words to empower those most affected.
