    The linked recording is an excerpt of one of the classes for the ROOTED programme, which supports white people to begin to address, heal, and learn from our inheritance of white supremacy, through exploring and telling an ancestor's story.

    A picture of a crow, sitting on a plant stem topped by a full red rose. A white bone is below, and above are the words "Bespoken bones"

    In front of a purple-filtered photograph of a mountain with snow, the words "The Free Her Spirit Podcast" in white lettering.
