Do you feel shame in being privileged?
Selina Iddon introduces the complex topic of privilege and shame, defining privilege and examining its impact on individuals. Through personal anecdotes, she delves into cultural constructs and various perspectives on privilege and fairness. Selina discusses the emotional responses to recognizing and addressing privilege, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging it to create positive change. The episode encourages listeners to use their privilege constructively and concludes with a call to action for making a difference.
Society often expresses privilege as something unfair, something that should be removed from those who possess it. If you have ever experienced the threat of losing something dear to you then you know this triggers emotions and often a fight response, and those with privilege just move to defend it harder, so this is ineffective.
What if instead we worked towards every human having those privileges. Rather than feel the need to defend being privileged, what if we nurture and grow our privileges so there is plenty to go around for everyone?
