Diary of a Pandemic

There's a way that many spiritual leaders are ignoring or "bypassing" the conversation of race right now. Kianga and Rachel revisit an experience they had together about 5 weeks ago in a spiritual community - to discuss how the personal blind spots of some are both harmful and impact the bottom line of their businesses.

Kianga and Rachel explore what it's like to be unattached enough to your story to be willing to see it a different way. And that it doesn't necessarily make the different way true - but it does take you off the spot of your habits long enough to see something different.

Kianga and Rachel have mentioned before how there is no right way to be in this moment, as each of us has our own personal work to do, rather than a prescribed set of actions to take. In this conversation, we out ourselves with what we see as our own personal work and why that is so.

We're not gonna lie...things are getting a little uncomfortable up in here. Today Rachel reveals how she is starting to question what the media taught and showed her about PoC when she was growing up, and that she wants to go back and see what got internalized. And Kianga shares that her awareness of racial representation in the media is what helped her to avoid becoming a stereotype.

If shifting the reality of race in America requires all parties to be invested, what is lost when we don't allow ALL people to contribute to the conversation. And what dynamic is really created when we look at white people ceding positions of power to PoC.
