Very That

Decolonization AKA Kocoum was right about y'all...

The Trauma-Titas roll up their sleeves & dive into some insectionaliTEA for Pride month. The Titas explore their work to decolonize their mindsets and worldview by reclaiming a connection with the ancestors. Arnold & Grey discuss how decolonization work manifests in their own lives and the pieces of themselves they were able to reclaim along the way. Arnold shares how he works through the grief of a culture and a people brutalized out of existence through questioning and challenging western values only to discover the ancestors never left.... especially on the dance floor. Grey discusses how reclaiming indigenous language has given way to an awakening of emotional maturity & connection with the self (Standard English, but make it indigenous!) That’s not to say the work is without its woes, as the Titas get into the trauma of the work as it never ends. But, together – they align that the work is vital as it reclaims & reconnects the past, present, and future and, most importantly, OURSELVES!
