Are White business' actually ready?
This week I'm discussing white leadership choosing white defense when learning about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It is creating a barrier to the process, and actualization of inclusion. You have to chose to be vulnerable, you have to be willing to approach something new, it requires active participation by privileged people.
Historical Omissions and or Interpersonal Truth
Colonizing Lies
Just some thoughts on the level of cognitive dissonance it takes to defend mass murder, genocide, or other colonizing atrocities that we are currently witnessing in our world. In the US, in Palenstine/Israel, in Colombia, in India, Brazil....
There is one common factor.

Historic violence on Black People in Healthcare
I am joined by Matin Allums with Lane County Public Health. He is discussing historic origins of the health care system and its ties with the Black community. The historic violence is evidence to present day hesitation in the community most affected by Covid to receive the vaccine. We explore a how health care system has routinely utilized black bodies to benefit the privileged community, and how that is now being recognized and changing for the better...
All in my Spiritual business
Joined by Mysticalhealing.guide, Rasia, we talk about history of Black people and spiritual healing. Race is a social construct, the trauma of being oppressed for centuries become a factor in our DNA. Black people historically have been disconnected from a space of healing that is naturally a part of who we are BEFORE the trauma. While we discuss this, Rasia does a LIVE TAROT reading on me !! Its a deep experience to a collective process and personally revealing to my process while doing the work of Race, Equity, and Inclusion.

Mental Health and Purpose
Claire Synder with Black Joy Oregon joins me to discuss Mental Health and to understand Anti Racism as a process, trauma leading to purpose! The process of unlearning is also traumatic and this process of deconstructing racism weighs heavily on mental health for both white and BIPOC communities. The conversation is truly organic, we didn't meet prior to discuss, and is genuinely beautiful to hear.

Unpopular Vulnerability
This episode discusses how we as a collective can ready ourselves for the truth of the future. To encourage realization of our personal connection to white supremacy, authenticity and how we can show up for this new society we are fighting for. Vulnerability isn't easy for most people, and for the growth this transformation is creating, it's the only way we can grow something NEW.

White supremacy vs. white privilege
All about this insurrection. It is vital that we name what happened on January 6th, it is ESSENTIAL that we do not allow history to code this horrific display of white privilege that killed 5 of their own, as an act derived and created because of one man. It is simply not true, and we need the people responsible: white people, to create a real response to their witnessing of white privilege, was this what you imagined? Now that the FBI decided their congress people could die for the rights of white supremacy nationwide, does that bring awareness to how this idea benefits every white person?
Please listen in...

addressing a white mans fear of "Black dominance" in a FB post
I am joined by Leann Ashley who was confronted with a flaming racist on FB. She sent me the exchange and I had to address it. This man's delusions include "white people should not be dominated in our land" to "we invented the modern world" to "If it wasn't for us, THEY would be living in squalor" . I read his post several times to make sure we all understand the level of fear he is coming from. However, on a more critical analysis of his statements, how much of what he is saying is TANGIBLE evidence of the oppression BIPOC people have been stating all along. How much of what he is saying is just a description.....Join us!!
