This week we expand on the Language of the Oppressed conversation as we explore the cost of liberation. Once your language serves as the needed affirmation, how do you prepare yourself for the impending losses? Your liberation does not come cheap and your language may be the thing needed to propel you and gain the allies you will need along the way. It will ground you through the uncertainty of the journey. Nick Gaines walks us through this with some wisdom from Audre Lorde. It’s time to get free!

Who calls for civility? Who does civil discourse benefit? This week, Amera and Mike are joined by Nick Gaines to explore the language of the oppressed. They uncover how powerful the language is both as a self affirmation and catalyst to liberation. Join them for the first part of this important discussion.
