You're Anti-Black AF w/ Joquina Reed
People get more protections based off of their proximity to Whiteness. So we all have been conditioned to choose this violence for ourselves, because that's what's been offered.
Acknowledge the violence!
Thank you so much Joquina Reed (She/Her) for reminding us of the violence we all unfortunately participate in. This first step is acknowledgement and I know this episode will help a lot of people move in the right direction.
In this episode we discuss:
-Why we don’t need more “perpetual users”
-How Anti-Blackness can show up in ourselves
-What happens when we continue to seek White validation
This episode was full of laughs, tears and Beyonce! I am so grateful for the amazing people I get to meet in this space and so proud of how I do this! Tune in today!
The ✨ key words✨ for this episode are:
Anti-Blackness
Racism
Liberation
I encourage you to look up the definitions of these words and compare them to the definitions you carry with you. If you need help comparing please let me know.
