Our lives are made up of stories, and here in the Story Garden, we strive to SHARE those stories. Are you ready to visit the garden? This week’s episode is a little long and we’re talking politics and activism, so buckle up! 

If you haven’t yet gathered from prior episodes, I consider myself to be a progressive - but I’m really interested in having conversations where we find common ground, because I believe that there is common ground to be found with almost anyone. If you’re feeling like you don’t want to listen to this episode, I REALLY hope you will (and feel free to shoot me an email afterwards!).

Now, I’m excited to introduce today’s guest, Nathan Higdon. Nathan is an activist, a campaign manager, a teacher, and a STRONG advocate for underserved communities. He was there at my first protest (and made me feel a million times more comfortable!), answers my calls EVERY time (and there are a lot of them!), and is generally just a great friend to have. He and I serve on the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee together and I like to think that together, we cause at least a little bit of Good Trouble.

Want to connect with Nathan? Find him on Twitter and Instagram at jnathanhigdon (and don’t forget to follow indivisibletn, too!). 

Special thanks to musician Mia Rago for use of her song “Tension,” which can be found on streaming platforms or by visiting miarago.com - and I’m gonna go out on a limb here, because I appreciate every single musician that lets me share their music with my listeners, but WOW, do I love her stuff. Please be sure to check her out!

A special request: if you know someone local to the Middle TN area who you think should be a guest on Story Garden Pod, send me an email at storygardener@meganlange.co and let me know.
