This episode delves into the history of two-spirit people, showcasing their beautiful contributions through centuries, and the challenges they face. With the help of guest speakers Liish Kozlowski, the first two-spirit and nonbinary Minnesota representative, Arnold-Dahl Wooley, the founder of Two-spirit Advocacy, and Kai Coyne, a teen artist with extensive experience living through and with labels, the episode is both educational and immersive. Not only does it discuss Native American history through labels, but it also thinks critically about the negative attributes of Western language when it comes to identity.

Part 2: On this episode of Listen Up Youth Radio we will explore the different ways hate speech affects people in day to day life both physically and mentally. This episode is produced by Abdirahman who thinks that this topic needs to be acknowledged more. What prompted me to talk about hate speech more is seeing how people regulate it even though its not okay he states. Abdirahman interviewed Matt Alvarez who is a producer for Minnesota Public Radio and Louis Abraham who is a fellow Summer Media Intensive Producer at Listen Up, and is on track to starting college classes in psychology.
