Around The Way Curls

Ep 244. Questionnaire to Oneself ft Naana


Listen Later

For this week's episode, we are joined again by the lovely Naana of "Work Bae" Podcast. Together we jump right into our main topic inspired by Audre Lorde's "Questionnaire to Oneself". For 3 days, Naana and Shanti wrote responses in their journals to the prompts. Listen as they share what came up for each of them.

Feel free to begin your own journaling process with these prompts below:
  • What are the words you do not have yet? [Or, “for what do you not have words, yet?”]
  • What do you need to say? [List as many things as necessary]
  • “What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?” [List as many as necessary today. Then write a new list tomorrow. And the day after.]
  • If we have been “socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition”, ask yourself: “What’s the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?”* [So, answer this today. And every day.]
  • Do you have a question or comment you'd like to share with us? Call in! Leave a message!
