Welcome back to Unexamined Me. Today we’re joined by Dr. Mary Jo Klinker and diving into a conversation that sits at the heart of why so many of our communities struggle to thrive—colonization. We’re talking about how colonization, whiteness, and the carceral system aren’t just abstract concepts, but living tools that rip communities apart. And we’ll also talk about what it looks like to resist, to decolonize, and to return to a way of being in community that honors humanity, reciprocity, and unconditional love.
