Greetings Family,

This week I dive into recovery step 1 and adapt the basic principles as it relates to our powerlessness under the system of racism (white supremacy). I love this step because it is the beginning of hope, a new way of being. 

I also talk about how learned helplessness keeps us small, racial intimacy and the power of scheduling hope into your day.

If I could go back and speak to my former broken self that crawled into the rooms all those years ago, I would tell her it really is going to be OK, and step one is the beginning of my journey to freedom, one choice at a time.

This show is quite a deep one so make yourself a herb tea, take a deep breath and have a seat.

This episode is the second part of a series on 4 layers racial pain, our  internalised white supremacist.,  the family of origin, our community, and the external collective oppressor.

Last week, the focus was on our  internalised white supremacist. Today, I weave the other 3 layers into  the connection between slavery, child attachment, and how 'disciplining' our children with violence enables white supremacy's quest to kill the souls of our people, and destroys our ability to have healthy adult relationships.

In today's show June's shares about one of 4 layers of racial pain, the four layers being;

1/ Internalised racism and the relationship with self. 2/ Recycled trauma within our family of origin 3/ Community pain and the silence, enabling racial codependency which feeds the system. 4/ Oppressive social relationship with the institutions that control and maintain our oppression . Today June focuses on our internalised white supremacist. She talks openly about the trauma of being black and the impact this had on her relationships as she explored her identity in early recovery with her white sponsor and fellows. The others 3 layers will be covered in next week's show.
