Laura Rowe comes back to discuss ancestral medicine and systemic racism. We believe we have a responsibility to change the system and we discuss pieces of this change.

Laura and I discuss systemic racism as two white-presenting cis-gendered women. We see a space where we can be quiet, where we can learn, and we pick apart different places where we can elevate and change our society. 

“What hurts one of us hurts all of us.”

What’s the ‘right’ question? “How can we help you?”

Five steps to healing ancestral wounds:

1. Older generations let go. Younger generations tell us what they see.
2. Stop talking and listen. 
3. Investigate your bias. 
4. Heal.
5. Speak out and use your power.
