Surrendering Fear
Listen now
Description
We must be deliberate and unafraid. Brendane is back this week to talk about the Black feminist practice of surrendering fear. We start by offering a colonial definition of fear as a colonial practice rooted in oppression that lives in our bodies. Then, we listen to the testimony of Audre Lorde, aka Gamba Adisa, to learn how to transform fear--and the silence produced by fear--into language and action. In the last segment, Brendane discusses internalized white supremacy in our movements and why simply calling for a "ceasefire" or "Free [insert nation-state here]" will never be enough to bring about the world we wish to see. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/black-loved-free-podcast/message
