The Glorious Mess
The Glorious Mess is for people who didn’t inherit a clean story.
Mixed. Fostered. Raised in systems. Raised across cultures. Raised by people who loved you but couldn’t give you your origin.
Hosted by Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown, the show sits inside identity, memory, race, belonging, and the strange work of becoming yourself when you had to assemble the pieces.
No self-help. No performance.
Just lived experience, sharp conversation, and the honesty of building a self in public.
If you’ve ever felt like the exception in your own family, you’re home.
Welcome to the mess.
The Glorious Mess
Dreaming in a Political World
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Glorious Mess, we hold nothing back. From rising polarization to the fragility of the systems we live in, we dig into the current reality of Canadian politics and why it's more urgent than ever to stay awake and engaged. No system is perfect, but as we imagine and build alternatives, we also reckon with where we are right now.
And then… we dream.
We explore the quiet language of dreams—what they reveal about our fears, our futures, and our relationship to a world in flux.
Tune in for raw truth, wild imagination, and a little chaos.
Because dreaming is political.
