What does it mean to live inside patterns that refuse to die? In this solo episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat reflects on colonization—not as history, but as a living system of domination. He shares the struggle of staying informed through the news while protecting his spirit, offering raw reflections on Washington, D.C., the city that raised him and now feels under siege. From the Trail of Tears to ICE raids, plantations to prison labor, colonization moves from land to bodies to memory. Even the Smithsonian museums are being pressured to soften or erase exhibits on slavery, racism, and police violence—an act of cultural genocide that sanitizes America’s blood-soaked roots. With urgency and tenderness, Hawah calls listeners to resist this erasure, to hold grief with joy, and to root deeply in lineage.

What We Explore:

• Why colonization is not in the past tense but a recurring pattern
• How ICE raids, mass incarceration, and museum censorship mirror historic systems of control
• The emotional toll of consuming news and strategies for balancing grief with joy
• Why Washington, D.C. represents both Hawah’s deepest roots and a current site of occupation
• The three stages of colonization: seizing land, controlling bodies, rewriting stories
• How historical parallels (Trail of Tears, plantations, Jim Crow) echo today’s injustices
• Global perspectives on colonization, including the British Raj in India
• Ways to cultivate resilience: connecting to lineage, nature, and community fellowship
