Africa Brooke and Quitting Self-Censorship

Instagram, and social media, can be an amazing tool for social justice. It can also be an absolute trash fire where nobody listens to each other, everyone is outraged, and there’s an overwhelming pressure to post the right thing at the right time, or have an opinion about everything, and a deep fear of saying the wrong thing by mistake or being misunderstood. This week, we’re talking to Africa Brooke about navigating all this, how to stop self-censoring and self-sabotage (and the relationship between the two), and showing up, both online and in life, in ways that align with our own integrity. 

This is part one of a two part discussion with Africa Brooke. The intro ends, and the interview begins, at 00:20:22
