Ashanti is an activist poet, decolonial dialogue facilitator, published writer, my partner in facilitation at the Culture Hack Labs Rhizome Fellowship and the founder of Learning 2 Unlearn  - a decolonial narrative consultancy. She was a prominent student leader at Stellenbosch University during the 2015/2016 #FeesMustFall student movement in South Africa. And following the 2020 #BlackLives Matter uprising, the idea for <a href='https://www.learning2unlearn.com/'>Learning 2 Unlearn</a> was born.   Ashanti shares with us her experience of growing up as a young black woman in the relative comfort of of post-apartheid South African suburbia and the radical awakening she had as a student during the Fees Must Fall student uprising. From her work with decolonizing narratives to spoken word poetry to her recent stint on the Parisian runway at fashion week, Ashanti is a powerful beam of light. This is a vibrant episode, alive with the passion and purpose of a beautiful human whom I am blessed to call my soul sister and friend. Resources:  <a href='https://www.learning2unlearn.com/'>Learning 2 Unlearn</a>  @ashanti_kunene FOLLOW AUBREY'S WORK Website:<a href='https://www.ourbelovedfutures.com/'> www.ourbelovedfutures.com </a>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/aubrey.morgan.yee/'>@aubrey.morgan.yee </a>Substack:<a href='https://aubreyy.substack.com/'> </a><a href='https://ourbelovedfutures.substack.com/'>ourbelovedfutures.substack.com</a> Book: <a href='https://a.co/d/8xLNQDr'>Our Beloved Futures</a>

E3 Learning 2 Unlearn, love as the path to healing with Ashanti Kunene

“the ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.” &nbsp;~ David Graeber The world is changing all around us. I know in my bones that, contrary to the evening news, a new and more beautiful way of human-ing on the planet is being birthed. One that is in right relation with Earth (Gaia), embracing the truth of Inter-being. The Beloved Futures podcast is a space of soul nourishment where we explore what is going right with the world and give space to the Beloved Futures emerging in our midst. When we can collectively imagine multidimensional futures that we wish to live in, we will make the choices in the present that steer us there with more ease and grace. Imagination is the mostpowerful force available to humankind. Together we imagine new worlds into being. Radical (to the root) modes of relating with the world, remembering how to live with earth as the sentient being that she is.&nbsp; Each episode, I connect with individuals and collectives whoare actively engaged withand devoted tocatalyzingbelovedfutures. What do these futureslook like, taste like, smell like, feel liketo them? What propels their work and dedication to radical imaginings?Together we explore what brings them energy and hope, the twists and turns of their life and learningand how their workin the world adds to the collective experience of thriving and joy. These conversations with artists, healers, teachers, creators, storytellers, farmers, spiritual leaders, mothers and others on the frontlines of the imagination revolution are aimed at supporting all of us as werise into our creative potential as human BE-comings. Each one of us is a vessel for thelife forceof Loveto flow into material experience and each one of us has an invaluable gift to share. When we focus our energies on the Beloved Futures, we collectively produce an energetic in the now that makes the seemingly impossible, possible. The time is now, there is no other moment than the present. Together we are a force. And so it is...
