In this episode of Deep Resonance, we (Mish and Tamice) dive into a candid conversation about our experiences as people from marginalized backgrounds navigating the complexities of social justice, allyship, and personal transformation.
We discuss the importance of centering voices from the margins and share some of the cringeworthy ways well-meaning folks sometimes miss the mark - from comparing transgender identities to drag performances to equating Asian representation with buying from a Chinese restaurant.
We also wrestle with the tensions that arise when privileged people speak out about oppression in ways that feel performative or self-serving, and explore how we can move towards true solidarity and collective liberation.
A major theme of our conversation is the need to go beyond pursuing "justice" within oppressive systems, and instead work towards deep, holistic transformation on both an individual and societal level. We reflect on how our own journeys have led us to embrace non-alienation, recognizing our shared humanity even as we challenge dehumanizing beliefs and actions.
We also talk about the importance of grounding our activism in lived experience and relationships of accountability, rather than settling for shallow "wokeness." And we share some exciting news about an upcoming course we're offering for those who want to dive deeper into these topics in community!
