What We Carry: Pomo Dance, Regalia, and Responsibility with Batsulwin Brown - 36
Episode 36
Tuesday, 5 August, 2025

In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Batsulwin Brown, someone I’ve been dancing with since we were little. We reflect on our lifelong connection to Pomo ceremony, what it means to wear regalia with respect, and how traditional dances are being carried forward today.We talk about the old ways, learning from our uncles and aunties, without classes or flyers and we ask honest questions about how ceremony is being taught now. Are regalia workshops the right way? Do we lose something when teachings are taken out of family hands?From protocol to purpose, this episode is about more than just keeping traditions alive, it’s about honoring how we carry them.Batsulwin Brown is available to speak at cultural events, gatherings, or conferences.
