Listen Later

“For us to truly reach equity we must all be involved in this process of reconnecting and recovering our humanity" - Milta Vega Cardona. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Working inside Institutions that abuse power and fighting back from within
  • How race became a construct and the core of the hierarchy in the US.
  • Why white supremacy isn’t about individual actions, but systemic abuses of power
  • The history of the concept of whiteness, the cost of this construct, and its impact on the U.S.
  • Reclaiming our humanity through intimacy and vulnerability
  • Spiritual connection in anti-racism work
  • Milta Vega Cardona is a National Anti-Racism / Anti Oppression Consultant providing support in organizing and curating conversations on Race and Racism in the United States, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.   Her 40 plus years of expertise in the Human Services Field and her 15 years of curating conversations on Race and Racism provide the backdrop to her ability in creating an environment for both BIPOC and White People to take the deep dive into this uncomfortable and often “messy” conversation on Race.
