“We don’t really do anything about anything until something really needs to be done.”

Are you always mentally preparing yourself to pass immigration when travelling abroad? Do you find your international travel choices are restricted because of your passport and/or cultural identity?

In this episode, we’re covering passport privilege, racial stereotypes (especially on Mexican culture), and the barriers BIPOC individuals face when travelling overseas with Ivonne I. Solther.

Ivonne is an ICF and NLP Certified Coach and professional animator. She is deeply passionate about helping her community go inwards to cultivate solutions outwards. In her spare time, she’s either cycling across new destinations or practicing handstands on her rooftop.

In this episode, Ivonne and Jazz dive into:

• Personal experiences entering and exiting the United States as people of color.
• The environmental impacts of colonization and globalization on BIPOC communities.
• How people of color have been dehumanized through colonization and the removal of empathy from language.
