Ep 91: Honest Truth; Authentic Change

In this week’s episode, April and Tracie talk about what it looks like when organizations and communities take on the difficult work of facing the honest truth about racism and oppression within their walls. There is so much shame and fear about problematic dynamics in our communities, it can prevent us from making real progress. Community or organizational change and healing take honesty, courage, and healing for individual members and leaders of those organizations. We dig into what we see in the context of the United States, the role of the good/bad binary in all of this, and why it’s so important to do our own internal healing in a world that has embedded oppression into our existence.
