In this fun conversation Badass Cross Stitch founder, Shannon Downey, and I talk about how to bring a lovely, subversive twist to the art of cross stitching. Really, it (and lots of other creative pursuits) can be a venue for taking down white supremacy. Shannon tells me how she came up with this idea, about the impact it's had, and the how she's now taking this on the road. Yep, even during a pandemic this project can travel.Shannon's favorite quote is from Mariame Kaba, "Weird times call for weird solutions" and this solution meets our weird time perfectly.Have a listen and if you take up cross stitching afterwards, definitely let me know.
