Unfiltered with Africa Brooke

In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) , I covered: the person I got so fucking wrong who I now deeply appreciate- Jordan B Peterson.
 
I also explored why we need to stop waiting to be told how to think, feel, and react, different aspects of misrepresentation and the process o , knee-jerk assigning of labels (racist, white supremacist, transphobic, misogynist etc)...
 
 some practical steps to breaking out of echo chambers, the psychological resistance that comes with engaging with new ideas (feeling like you’re betraying the movement/cause/ideology), committing to NOT being self-righteous, why labelling EVERYTHING as ‘woke’ or ‘alt-right’ doesn’t get us anywhere...
 
 ...& MORE
 
 Remember: as a self-aware adult (YOU) - I trust that you will filter this through your own self-awareness. Not everything is for you, and that is OK. Take what you need, and respectfully leave the rest. I also urge you to listen to the entire conversation before jumping to conclusions or reacting prematurely.

In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) I covered: why the assertion that ‘cancel culture doesn’t exist’ is hands down one of the most sinister things I’ve heard in recent years (collective gaslighting at best, and that’s not a word I use lightly)...

...the importance of moving out of binary thinking (either or, pro vs anti, with us or against us, good vs bad etc), overvaluing your digital self over your offline self, my thoughts on why it’s impossible to give an acceptable apology to an online mob...

...the entitlement and underlying narcissism that presents itself when we demand the world view us in the way we view ourselves (NOT talking about basic human rights here so don’t even...), why being against freedom of speech is fucking bizarre, the differences between mindful speech and self-censorship, cultivating the courage to speak up...and MORE!

In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) I covered: why self-responsibility (the antidote to victimhood) is not a dirty word, the importance of not allowing the projection of others to erode your self-trust...⁣

...why strengthening your self-awareness ultimately benefits the collective, why you don’t have to play the dehumanisation game, the AUDACIOUS LIE that cancel culture doesn’t exist, the mental health crisis caused by self-censorship, using your voice even when it’s unpopular to do so...and MORE!⁣

This is hands down one of the best conversations I've had publicly. I sat down with Sex Educator, thinker, and friend- Rukiat (@iamrukiat) , and we covered it ALL! This audio is from a LIVE we did on Instagram so you will hear us referring to the comments at some points and you'll also hear me putting on the kettle somewhere in there (because...TEA), but I urge you to listen all the way through, I know this episode will be expansive for many of you.
