#011 Keep North - Manny Coelho
In this solo episode of The State I Am In, I dive into the meaning behind a phrase I’ve recently started using to close out every show: Keep North. At first, it seemed like the perfect tagline for an Alaska-based podcast, but the more I sat with it, the more layers of meaning it revealed.
Keep North is about honoring Alaska’s past while protecting its future — from preserving its culture and resources, to standing firm in our values and the way of life that makes this place unique. It’s about direction too: orienting ourselves toward faith, family, and community, no matter where life takes us.
