00:01:36 – Meet my guest Nazanin Afshar Szanto.
00:04:28 – Nazanin and I discuss what’s been good for us lately. The opportunities that have come our way and how we’re trying to improve ourselves. I also talk about how projects like this podcast give us a safe space that we sometimes lack in the real world.
00:09:26 – We talk about our experiences with performative allyship. How some allies aren’t really prepared to do the work necessary to stand by minority communities but enjoy sounding woke on social media. Naz and I come up with a few ways in which allies could step up and be a real support.
00:24:27 – We define what spiritual bypassing means to us, and why we can’t accept it in our lives. How it can be harmful instead of healing.
00:33:57 – There are benefits to confronting your ancestral colonial privilege. You can finally say goodbye to your racist uncle and be more authentic to yourself. Also, colonialism is sociopathic.
00:41 :16 – What is an empath? We discuss how empathy is natural to humans and how our culture trains us to suppress this trait.
00:48:29 – Anger being negative is mainly a colonial construct. We talk about break down why owning your righteous anger is one of the best things you can do for yourself and for your ancestors. We also ask those who have anger directed at them by minority communities to analyze their discomfort with this rage.
00:58:57 – I ask Nazanin about their current growth edge and how they’re holding themself accountable. Naz explains how it’s important to for them to the break cycle of toxic relationships to have healthier connections with the people in their life.
01:04:58 – Nazanin has a project in the pipes that aims to help bring restorative justice into the world and create scope for accountability. After something bad happens, it’s necessary for there to be a process to not just punish but grow from the experience.
