EMPOWERED HUMAN with Nina Garcia
Racism as a Disorder: Playing with Racialization - Repost from April 30 2021
What if we told you there's no such thing as "not racist"? Listen in to hear one way to empower people to gauge themselves on the Racial Disorder spectrum: from 1 (Least Racist) to 5 (Most Racist). We invite you to flip the script on your understanding of Racism, empowering you to open to the idea that we're all affected - and we all need tools for symptom maintenance. It starts with you, so have a journal on hand or a good friend to dialogue with what comes up for you in this episode. And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend. 🌿 COURTESY NOTE: At the time of recording we did not have an actual Antisupremacist Spectrum, which we now possess - this episode shows some of the first exploration we had toward this end! Want access to that? DM me!

💌 Explore a potential "spectrum of racism";
