Conversations Different with Inez Russell Gomez

A look at efforts to accelerate New Mexico's electric vehicle transition

Former New Mexico poet laureate and author Lauren Camp is getting ready for the release of a new poetry book this spring called Is Is Enough. Published by Texas A&M University Press, the book transmutes the raw emotions from a time in Camp’s life where she was tasked with caring for a parent diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.  

The circumstance required her to find balance in a new reality that guaranteed many unknowns. For some, coping with this type of struggle is an unbearable and insurmountable ask. However, for Camp, a poet, processing her feelings meant articulating them on paper and sharing with the world in hopes of finding comfort.  

Camp joins the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different” to discuss with host Inez Russell Gomez the creative process behind writing Is Is Enough and explains why it will be a good resource for others experiencing similar grief.  

Throughout the episode, Camp also delves into some of her past work as New Mexico’s poet laureate, which involved traveling the state and listening to peoples' hometown stories. She shares what moments stood out to her most and how they became part of a documentary initiative she founded called the New Mexico Epic Poem Project.

Lauren Camp’s new poetry book ‘Is Is Enough’ shares tales of living with grief

New Mexico’s economic potential has yet to be achieved but is on the cusp of something remarkable. That is the sentiment of Meg Whitman, a former U.S. Ambassador to Kenya, former CEO and president of eBay and Hewlett-Packard, and now a new resident of the state.  

Whitman’s thoughts, as outlined in an opinion piece published by the Santa Fe New Mexican, contrast with what many perceive as a place that has historically seen slow and stagnant economic growth. The consequence for a lack of growth? Missed opportunities.  

That outcome won’t be the case for long; however, if smart financial investments from the Legislature and the private sector are able to come to fruition, Whitman argues.  

On the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different,” host Inez Russell Gomez speaks with Whitman about what investments she sees as New Mexico’s path to economic prosperity and the impact they could have on its reputation as a leader for future development.  

In the episode, Whitman also answers questions about her involvement in politics from her involvement in presidential campaigns, a run for California governor and any future political plans. To end the interview on a high note, Whitman addresses a heated question guaranteed to divide many New Mexicans: red or green?

Attacks on transgender individuals in our country have been rampant in recent years due to change in our political systems and environments. The issue has stemmed from debates over controversial policies related to transgender individuals in classrooms, bathrooms and sports teams. Not everyone sees eye-to-eye on this topic, including Dr. sj Miller, a Santa Fe-based educator, activist and now author.  

sj joins the latest episode of “Conversations Different” to discuss with host Inez Russell Gomez the various challenges that educators are facing in navigating anti-transgender laws implemented by various states. sj also discusses what impact new laws are having in schools and on children. 

A new book by sj, We Refuse to Disappear: Resistance Amid Anti-Trans Education Policy, examines some those laws and provides a helpful roadmap for conversations around gender identity.  

Throughout the episode, Inez and sj delve into the book’s themes and what readers can expect when it launches this year ahead of the midterm elections.
