À propos de ce contenu audio

WHY ARE YOU YOU? started as a feature documentary that explores the history of the Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) community where adolescents discovered their true selves and were empowered to make positive change in the world. Forty years after the program's inception, those former participants reflect on how being a part of the program shaped them and still informs their lives. YRUU, established in 1983, grew out of the Unitarian Universalists’ rich tradition of religious youth education. It was disbanded in 2008.

Now WHY ARE YOU YOU? is a documentary, a published Mugbook, a host to many community gatherings and a podcast.

The documentary-making process involves trimming a lot of content from interviews. Our aim was transparency, so every recorded interview will be aired as an episode along with new voices.


Hosted by: Lindsay Caddle LaPointe, Dawn MacKechnie and Naomi Kooker

    After we interviewed Hank Peirce (featured in Episode 7) his wife, Rebecca Scott took the spotlight with her own stories.

    Some of Rebecca’s anecdotes were great options for the documentary but we could never quite get them to fit. So we are so happy you can hear all the anecdotes. Each worthy of their own special attention.

    At the end of her interview you will hear a brief conversation with both Hank and Rebecca together. So keep listening until the end.

    This episode we will hear from Joseph Santos Lyons. When we went to the Unitarian Universalists General Assembly in Portland, OR we weren’t expecting to bump into him. He lives in the Philippines so we jumped on the chance to chat. While standing in the Exhibition Hall Lindsay asked him if he would like to be interviewed. We were always so honored to get to talk to so many amazing folx. Joseph is for sure one of them.

    This episode features Mara Schoney. Lindsay met Mara at George Mason University during her solo trip to the DC area. Mara is an associate professor at the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution. One of our favorite stories about eggs is featured that we tried a few times to sneak into the documentary. Enjoy Mara!
