Welcome to True Kinship with Animals where we believe we all do better when ALL creatures do better. I’m your host Janet Roper and each week you’ll hear stories and suggestions on how you can begin to dismantle your connection with colonized influences so that you can deepen your relationship with animals, moving you from ownership to true kinship, one animal at a time.
On today’s episode we’re joined by guest Kelley Harrell. Kelley is an animist, author, and deathwalker living on Sissipihaw and Tuscarora land in North Carolina. She writes The Weekly Rune and hosts the podcast What in the Wyrd.
