In the inaugural episode of Decolonize Yourself, host Dr. SooJin Pate shares her journey of decolonization: what prompted it, what motivated her to commit to decolonization, and some of the initial steps she took to decolonize her mind. She discusses some of the primary tools and weapons of colonization, how transnational adoption is a form of colonization, and the role Howard University played in helping to jumpstart her decolonization process.
