To have psychological safety on a community level one of the key pillars is that we must celebrate one another as the sacred roles that we are. That means we must SEE and acknowledge and celebrate who a person truly is so that person can feel SAFE to live in that place. This is a podcast where we discuss my new released Metis chapbook that is on Amazon, surrounding decolonization and kindness amongst groups of people challenging systems. There is a lot of heartache that touches communities and Taylor and I speak to being gentle but also consistent in showing up and sharing that voice, no matter how scary these topics can be. Join us in hearing our similarities in the place of belonging that we both find ourselves to be in. Keep on shining because YOU MATTER!
