Being the first Native person to serve in a presidential Cabinet is a historic milestone, but it’s also a path filled with immense pressure and sometimes loneliness. This week, Jade catches up with her mentor Secretary Deb Haaland to reflect on her historic tenure at the Department of the Interior and her current race for Governor of New Mexico.

They dive into the "keyboard warrior" culture that exists even within our own movements, the importance of acknowledging collective harm before healing can begin with an honest conversation about the emotional aftermath of President Biden’s long overdue apology for Federal Indian Boarding Schools, and why representation is about much more than just a seat at the table. Join us for the season one finale of JADED!

Can we build a world that isn't disposable? This week, Jade sits down with friend, model, author and activist Cameron Russell to discuss her book, How to Make Yourself Agreeable to Everyone, the systemic harm and violence hidden behind the glossy photos of the fashion industry, and her transition from the runway to the frontlines of climate justice.

Together, the two explore the intersections of climate grief, the disposability of culture, and why choosing community over a "bunker apocalypse" is the only way to build impactful power.

What happens when staying curious becomes a radical act? This week on JADED, Jade sits down with "Gen Z Historian" and digital educator Kahlil Greene to discuss the dangerous rise of anti-intellectualism and the weaponization of history.

The two dive into Kahlil’s viral experience being escorted out of a Forbes conference after an intervention for gun violence prevention. From the racialized origins of American gun culture and the dangers of the "thoughts and prayers" cycle that blocks real change, to the importance of Black-Indigenous solidarity, Kahlil shares how he’s using digital education to combat censorship and reclaim the narrative.
