On the occasion of the 4th of July, we are taking this opportunity to center a topic that some of us might not expect yet is an essential focus today and every day, namely race, anti-racism, relationships, and white supremacy.
When it comes down to it, the American experience exists only through the lens of race.
Our individual experiences of what it is to be American, what it is to be human in the US, are lived through our racial identities.
As such, “America” means fundamentally different things to different people.
Join us today as we listen to the experiences of our guest, Nya Abernathy, about what it means to be Black in America right now, why white supremacy is an abuser of the oppressed and the oppressor, and how anti-racism is inextricably coupled with dismantling white supremacy.
HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE GOODNESS…
“White supremacy whispers to us, ‘If you can’t do it perfectly, don’t do it at all.’”
“White supremacy, like perfectionism, doesn’t want to be questioned.”
“Dignity is about peacemaking within yourself first.”
“Relationships are what fuels the revolution.”
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE…
The grief and trauma — and ancestral grief and trauma — of this moment
The truth of how white supremacy, in muzzling black people, muzzles all people
Why anti-racism is a revolution of relationship
What it can look like when white people and black people come to the table of revolution together
How anti-racism is a lifestyle
