Welcome to Spirit & Liberation, the podcast where we bridge the sacred and the political, where ancestral wisdom meets the frontlines of organized movement. Our ancestors taught us how to resist and reimagine the world. Today, as the stakes of our collective freedom grow higher, we are called to reawaken and re-embody those lessons. Spirit & Liberation traces those links between ancestral spiritual practice and contemporary liberation movements. Join hosts Francisca Porchas Coronado and Jeanette Charles-Marquez, two organizers and IFA practitioners who are deeply committed to liberation. With our special guests, we will discuss ancestral practices, community-based care systems, and the often unseen spiritual frameworks that nurture our movements.

This podcast centers the crossroads of political struggle and sacred traditions. In our very first episode, we share the roots of this offering: why we launched it, who you’ll meet along the way, and how spirit moves through our movements.
Hosted by Francisca Porchas Coronado and Jeanette Charles-Marquez—LTAN’s Executive Director and Associate Director of Programs—this space is a gathering point for organizers, healers, and spiritual practitioners committed to weaving African and Indigenous cosmologies into the fight for collective liberation.
