Ep. 97: The Power of Coming Home

It’s that time of year again....and we don’t mean Christmas. With Halloween just a couple of weeks behind us and Thanksgiving around the corner, it’s time to dive back into the conversation around these holidays and break down some shit for y’all. In this episode, Trudi and Weeze are breaking down Halloween costumes and cultural appropriation, the ways white supremacy has harmed phenotypically white as well as marginalized folks, and what can happen when you make the effort to reconnect to where your ancestors came from. We’re exploring: Where cultural appropriation stems from The psychological and emotional resource that you lose when you trade in your ethnicity for whiteness What happens when you don’t have a connection to culture, history or family The question you should be asking yourself if you wanted to be one of THESE things for Halloween An opportunity for you to start unpacking some of this and help you start reconnecting to your actual ethnic identity A reframe for you about Thanksgiving The ways generational trauma affects more people than you’d think And more!
