The Raiders. The Warriors. The A’s.

One by one, Oakland watched its teams leave. And one by one, the city kept going.

Because no one’s coming to save Oakland. Oakland saves itself.

Laura Geist, GM of the Pioneer League Champion Oakland Ballers, on what it means to bring a championship back to a city that never stopped deserving one.

“You can move a team. But you cannot take the soul of a city.”

We ask every guest the same question:

What does Humane Rights mean to you?

@kendrick38 didn’t hesitate.

It comes down to the purpose of our existence. Not what we achieved. Not what we accumulated. Whether we understood who people are, what they need—and showed up for that.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Kendrick sits on a tan couch and talks into the podcast mic about what Humane Rights means to him. His black ball cap brings you into his gold grill. Dr. Cadet nods along behind a podcast mic in a fuzzy tan chair in her golden studio.

They said the kids wouldn’t last an hour and a half.

They stayed for two.

Dev Heyrana on what happens when you bring art into public school classrooms—and why dance breaks set to Beyoncé and Rihanna are part of the curriculum.

“Because if you don’t have access to art, you can’t create. You can’t imagine. You can’t dream.”- @changecadet

And kids know that. Even when the adults in their lives aren’t so sure.

“If you are from the Bay Area, it is impossible to be unaffected by its politics. And I think that gets into the art.” - @RafaelCasal

Rafael Casal didn’t just build the Bay List to celebrate scripts. He built it because place is political. Because the Bay Area’s particular brand of consciousness—the kind that gets into your bones whether you grew up there or just passed through—produces stories that the industry wasn’t checking for. And should be.

There was talent. There was no stage. And now there is.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Dr. Cadet sits in her golden studio wearing her white crewneck sweater with her long golden braids listening intently. The clip moves from her sitting in the studio and Rafael sitting in his office where he speaks into a black microphone about the Bay List he launched in 2025.

"We cannot wait anymore..." said @rafaelcasal the newest guest on the @humanerightspodcast during another timely episode. Rafael Casel is an incredible actor, producer, writer, showrunner, rapper and so much more. He wrote, produced and acted in one of my favorite movies ever, Blindspotting (if you haven't watched it, what are you doing?). I have had the pleasure of getting to see his magical storytelling powers up close and I'm in awe that he thinks I'm cool. Tune in.

Look, Donald is literally attacking humanity. Today. Yesterday. Maybe, definitely tonight as he said “a whole civilization [Iran] will die tonight, never be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.” This is not the time to wait. Take action! In need of some inspiration? Listen to this episode as Rafael is dropping gems. Remember to subscribe, comment, share as I created this podcast to remind people of humanity and humanity is under attack. Link in bio. #changecadet

Rafael sits in his office with frame poster art behind him wearing a blue gray t-shirt, headphones over his slick back dark brownish hair, a large smirk amongst his brown reddish goatee showing his Irish and Cuban roots.

VD- Dr. Cadet sits in her golden studio wearing her white crewneck sweater with her long golden braids moving with each headnod of agreement to Rafael’s powerful words.

There's so much discourse around disability with the absence of intersectionality. But I love how the universe works as this episode with the iconic @jimlebrecht episode was scheduled to drop today. Mr. Lebrecht is a director, producer, sound engineer, Peabody Award winner and activist with work including documentaries @cripcampfilm (produced by Barack and Michelle Obama) and @patricethemovie. He has literally advocated for my existence as a Black disabled woman in this very white world. I want to encourage you to listen to our conversation and challenge your narrative around disability and intersectionality. Thank you Jim for seeing me.
