In this solita solita episode, Rosanna Alvarez reflects on recent conversations surrounding the function of media and ponders the habitual reflex of "shoulds" that often feel like imposition rooted in dysfunctional good intentions. The episode ends on an invitation to contribute to the conversation toward how we can do better as we show up authentically embracing our imperfections while we imagine what could be as a space of possibility grounded in collective action and reciprocity.
