## Resource

On this episode of It’s Giving, host Ingela Travers-Hayward is joined by Joy Oladokun , a musician whose art and activism have been deeply intertwined since the very beginning. This conversation dives into her history of advocacy - focusing on her deep roots in faith, family, and standing up for community care. Joy opens up about the breakdown between commercial success and cultural impact, the anxiety and hyper-communication of the digital age, and why she views protest music not as a genre, but as a bridge-building tool. It is a candid look at the tension between massive industry pressure and the tangible, “human-scale” impact of simply showing up for your neighbors. “Instead of overreaching and being like, 'I want to start a foundation...' maybe it's like feed one, or share a meal with one.” Follow along with behind-the-scenes notes and resources on the causes each musician champions: https://itsgivingpod.substack.com/ Enjoyed the show?
