Hello to you listening in Laconia, New Hampshire!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga!

Imagine this: you are 88 years old, in poor health, your husband and best friend have died leaving you quite alone but for a son who lives some distance away. Now what?

You go for a walk to clean up politics. My friend Doris “Granny D” Haddock started walking across America in her 89th year.  It took her 14 months to walk 3,200 miles from Los Angeles, California to Washington D.C. By the time she arrived in Cumberland, Maryland the biggest snowstorm in 4 years shut everything down so she sent to New Hampshire for her cross-country skies and skied all the way to the capitol steps where she met then Senator John McCain. Granny D had walked to bring attention to the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill.  

Yes, these are troubling and troublesome times. While times have always been so Granny D saw opportunity: 

“Aren't we privileged to live in a time when everything is at stake, and when our efforts make a difference in the eternal contest between the forces of light and shadow, between togetherness and division, between justice and exploitation? Oh, be joyful that you are a warrior in this great time! Will we rise to this battle? If so, we cannot lose, for rising up to it is our victory. If we represent love in the world, you see, we have already won." [Doris "Granny D" Haddock, political activist]

According to Human Rights Watch, throughout its six-year tenure, the military government of General Ibrahim Babangida has relied on force to ensure its stay in power. In the process, the Babangida government has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of students and others who demonstrated against its policies, the silencing of opposition organizations and the erosion of the rule of law. In this episode, our guests discusses a former student activist, discusses how he was advised to leave the country, and shares some valuable life lessons, along the way.

In this episode we speak to Akemi Kochiyama, granddaughter of American civil rights activist,  Yuri Kochiyama, the lifelong champion of civil rights causes in the black, Latino, Native American and Asian-American communities 

Influenced by her Japanese-American family's experience in an American internment camp, her association with Malcolm X, and her Maoist beliefs, she advocated for many causes, including black separatism, the anti-war movement, reparations for Japanese-American internees, and the rights of political prisoners.

A Conversation with Director Julie Cohen about the new documentary, My Name is Pauli Murray (Directed by Julie Cohen, Betsy West, 2021.

A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation — and consciousness — around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South — who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity — Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
