Dismantled

For a lot of POC, it gets complicated when it comes to acknowledging our own privilege and power. Because the oppression is real, we sometimes get stuck in it and forget how powerful we actually are. This week we wrestle with the complexity of our identities and challenge ourselves to step into our power and honor all that we are.

Let's flip the script on colorism. Listen as we dismantle the lies about being "dark" and internalized Anti-Blackness within POC communities. People of the sun, it's time to re-define our intimate relationship with the sun and it's blessings. Step in the light, bask in your glow.
