"It all started with a conversation." That's how Justice in June co-founder Bryanna Wallace describes the genesis of the massively successful Justice in June resource. The conversation was a heart-to-heart with her best friend from college Autumn Gupta after the murder of George Floyd earlier this year. After this conversation, Autumn leapt into action to create a resource to help people become better allies to the black community. What started off as a google doc has grown into a website, an educational tool and another modality to ensure people continue active anti-racist education and action. In our conversation, we hear about the origin of Justice in June, how people can plug into the resource and their strategies for getting through this week and beyond, no matter the outcome of the election!You can find Justice in June online online at justiceinjune.org on Twitter and Instagram @justiceinjuneAnd you can find us here at Gap Year Radio on Instagram and Facebook @gapyearradio or online at gapyearradiopodcast.com.You can email us your gap year questions or comments at gapyearradio@gmail.com.

Ep. 504 Staying Active Post-Election with Justice in June's Bryanna Wallace and Autumn Gupta

This week, Bryanna Wallace joins Hilary and Jason on Let The Journey Begin. Like many individuals, Bryanna started down her path of addiction at a young age. An unfortunate cocktail of external factors including an emotionally absent parent, a torn ACL from soccer, as well as switching schools in the midst of high school resulted in a party lifestyle for Bryanna. From there, whether it be her use of crystal meth at the age of 17 or her drug of choice in alcohol, things went downhill quickly. Bryanna explains how toxic relationships also had a negative impact on her and was another large factor in her addictions. Her “moment of clarity” came in the form of her parents truly cutting her off and “ending the enabling,” which finally led to her pursuing and obtaining sobriety at the age of 29. Today, Bryanna considers herself lucky to be alive and is always trying to be of service to others who are struggling in a similar manner. She currently works in the recovery/treatment field but explains that this particular profession isn’t necessarily the best way to maintain sobriety for former addicts. Whether it be recovery groups (in person or virtual) or talking to her mentor on the regular, Bryanna believes the most important thing you can do on a daily basis is to be of service in any way that you can.

#026 - Be of Service with Bryanna Wallace

This episode of Organize Your Butterflies features an exciting and refreshing conversation between Bryanna Wallace and Autumn Gupta, who are the founders of Justice in June, a digital compilation of resources making allyship a lifestyle habit, and Alejandra Y. Castillo, CEO of YWCA. As the world shifts to normalizing conversations surrounding anti-racism work and what allyship in practice looks like, Bryanna and Autumn have developed a platform in which individuals can take responsibility for learning ways to be intentional allies within this practice. The former college roommates and best-friends have been outspoken activists on social media and are leading the way for digital organizing and generational change. For more information on how to be a proactive ally, check out JusticeInJune.org And, be sure to follow them both on Instagram @autumngupta and @brybry1217! As we continue our conversation on allyship, YWCA USA recognizes the collective power of our national network of local associations committed to anti-racism work on the ground. YWCA Olympia, which practices a shared leadership model with Hillary Detamore, Chief Executive Officer at The Helm, made this commitment to centering racial justice work six years ago and hasn’t looked back since. As this episode’s spotlight, we are so proud of how they are challenging their local community of Olympia to think critically about racial disparities.
