On this episode I sit down with Dr. Yabome Gilpin-Jackson. She shares key moments that fundamentally shifted her life like the January 6th, 1999 invasion of Freetown, Sierra Leone. We discuss her work in post traumatic growth of African war survivors and the moments that unravelled her. If you think racism doesn't happen here in Canada, you're most certainly wrong. Yabome shares her lived experience of identity interrogation and placing connection ahead of curiosity. We jam on the dynamics of social inequality, the subtle felt impacts of racism and why Yabome wants 2018 to feel buoyant.
