The Resilience Within Ep. 4 w/ Excy Guardado (Ceiba Ili) - Caretaking

In this episode we speak with Excy Guardado, also known as Ceiba Ili, a cultural educator and musician from Honduras who skillfully incorporates indigenous instruments and languages into her music. Her work bridges the worlds of migrant communities, and indigenous rights, and promotes environmental justice. She shared about her current wrestlings with caregiving and making sure that she is able to find a place of balance in the midst of the needs of her loved ones. As someone who had grown up in a culture of mutual aid due to extreme need, she honors the value of showing up for our communities but also recognizes how it can swallow our lives up unless we learn how to set healthy boundaries.
