Episode Synopsis

You may be familiar with words like "cohousing" or even more loaded terms like "communes." But many folks living in those setups call them intentional communities and we wanted to know all about it. And if you scroll on social media enough, It seems like a lot of people are interested in this idea too — people are sick of not knowing their neighbors, their neighborhoods, and even their own roommates

In this episode we speak to Crystal Byrd Farmer, Board Member for the Foundation for Intentional Community and the author of "The Token: Common Sense Ideas for Increasing Diversity in Your Organization" She breaks down what exactly are intentional communities are, explains the politics of the spaces, shares how she is helping others combat the overwhelming whiteness of these communities and tells us what her ideal intentional community would look like.
