We’re continuing our podcast series on Decolonizing Your Brain. 

 

In Part 1, I reviewed the history of colonization and introduced you to the concept of the colonizer mentality. 

 

This week, in Part 2, you’ll learn how to recognize how the effects of colonization show up in your day-to-day lives. 

 

And, I walk you through a 6-step process to start doing your own work to decolonize your brain. 

 

Just like the effects of the patriarchy have no gender, the effects of colonization have no race. So whether you consider yourself a person of color or a white body individual, you’ll learn a ton in this series. 

 

Books mentioned: 

• How to be an anti-racist, Dr. Ibrahm Kendi
• White Fragility, Robin Deangelo
• The Sum of Us, Heather McGhee
