So here we are the final episode of season one! Inspired by Barack Obama I open up about what it's like to be an anti-racist educator, black woman, and soon-to-be author in unprecedented times like these.
I delve deep into the heaviness of reliving racist trauma I talk about how we can ALL instigate change in ourselves and others without resorting to dehumanising behaviour. And I share some deeply personal stories that came to me after watching Barack Obama delivering an incredible eulogy for activist, the late John Lewis.
In the episode I also discuss:
Remembering past trauma while concurrently experience it right now How we can normalise racism as a way to protect ourself from trauma Them-ing and us-ing and the race hierarchy we all need to be aware of and disrupt Anthony Walker and Joy Gardner Being vigilant of our own internalised racism and where racism shows up everywhere around us; the media, social media, and everyday life too. Referenced in the episode:
My discussions with Ade Adeniji in Episode 16, Natalie Alleyne in Episode 18 Yazzie Min in Episode 15, Selina Barker Episode 3 and Mars Lord in Episode 4 Freedom Song (2000) Owen Jones Guardian article
