S3E1: Healing Racism with guest Milagros Phillips
Welcome back to a brand new season of The Fierce Authenticity Podcast! We begin this new season with a bang.
In today’s episode, Shirani is joined by Milagros Phillips. Milagros is delivering transformative programs and creating space to engage in difficult conversations. From corporate leaders to members of Congress, Milagros designs strategic learning programs for clients seeking to enhance equity and inclusion by adding race literacy to their EI initiatives.
Today, Shirani and Milagros dive deep into the topic of healing racism and Milagros generously shares her story, parts of herself and her process, her journey as well as what makes healing racism so important in our world.
In today’s episode, we cover:
● Healing racism is a personal journey
● Racism is a problem for people of color, it is not the problem of people of color
● We are enough to transform a dysfunctional system
● The work of healing racism is the work of relationships
● We're supposed to be learning from one another, everyone has gifts to offer
Quotes
[00:12:10] It always ultimately comes down to our relationships: with ourselves, with Source and with others and how everything that we have experienced impacts us on a personal and interpersonal level.
[00:18:15] I look at racism from the perspective of the family model, the dysfunctional family model, because we're one human family, right? And you may not like the cousins, but they’re still your cousins. It is what it is.
[00:18:51] Racism is a white problem. Racism is a problem for people of color, it is not the problem of people of color. So, whites have to solve the racism piece.
[00:31:10] And that also goes for white people, because they think that only people of color have been victimized by racism, they don't realize that they're oppressed too, it’s just that their oppression is hidden behind privilege so they don't even see it. And neither does anybody else.
[00:43:41] The work of racism is the work of relationships.
[00:51:12] Do the work, you're worthy. You're more than worthy of clearing this stuff, so that you can find that essence of love of all humanity that lives inside of you
