In The Life with Dante Harris

LGBTQ Black History: Audre Lorde


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of In The Life with Dante Harris, we explore the fearless voice and revolutionary philosophy of Audre Lorde — poet, scholar, Black feminist, lesbian activist, and truth-teller whose words continue to challenge and liberate generations.

From her iconic declaration that “Your silence will not protect you” to her groundbreaking assertion that “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house,” Lorde demanded that we stop fragmenting ourselves for the comfort of others.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The power of language as survival and strategy
• Why silence feels safe — but costs us alignment
• How anger, when clarified, becomes direction
• Why self-care is not indulgence, but political warfare
• What it means to live fully integrated — not compartmentalized

This isn’t just a history lesson.

It’s a call to stop shrinking.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to dilute your voice, soften your truth, or minimize your identity to fit a room — this episode is for you.
