UCI CARE Narrative Project

The white savior complex and allyship


Listen Later

In this episode of the Narrative Project, Kaeleigh, Eli, Michelle, and Rasta discuss socialization, implicit biases, and how those two concepts affect our worldviews, and how we can confront those concepts to be better allies. They discuss how we grow up affects how we view the world as adults and how we can unlearn what we were taught by our family and peers. They continue the conversation by bringing up how we can educate ourselves to be better allies and to uplift those who are marginalized and oppressed. The terms the group defines and discusses are the white savior complex, implicit bias, and socialization.
