Liberation is a trendy word right now, but the movement towards liberation has been ongoing for centuries. In this week's episode, special guest Robyn Mourning and I have a conversation about her personal emancipation, liberation and what it really means, and how the idea that liberation will leave us as outsiders, is actually a myth.
Here are some highlights from our conversation:
-Robyn shares about her personal emancipation (6:07)
-Healership and Liberation work (12:54)
-Healing, Liberation, and Emancipation if for life (14:17)
-What is personal emancipation? (14:56)
-What's the point of the white supremacy? (18:13)
-Liberation happens in community (22:25)
-Dehumanization in social justice work (24:58)
-Turning away from the oppressor and looking at yourself (34:33)
-Robyn liberates parts of her Black self from the dungeon she had put them in (38:59)
-Part of reclamation is taking ownership for where you have been wrong (43:37)
-Robyn shares her experience supporting the liberation of trans lives and how she thought she would lose safety, love and belonging, but she found them instead (45:55)
-There is no sense of belonging in oppression (48:41)
-You can't force others into anti-oppression work, that's oppressive (49:46)
-People fear they will lose joy and protection with liberation, but instead, liberation fortifies our protection, and liberatory relationships (50:15)
-Liberating our children (52:08)
-Robyn's suggestions for liberation work for change makers, way showers, revolutionaries, and disruptors of the status quo (57:54)
