Eyes On Whiteness
Eyes On Whiteness is a podcast that illuminates the insidious and ignorant ways of whiteness, regardless of intent. Our guests are invited to talk about the ways white supremacy and patriarchy are pervasive and ever-present. Our conversations are rooted in a commitment to normalizing the "how, not if" lens for looking at the ways it's present for all of us.
Eyes On Whiteness
Eyes on whiteness with guest Roger Bonair-Agard, Pt. 1
In a two-part conversation, this first episode digs into how whiteness shows up in rules and punitive enforcement of said rules. We grapple with the questions of
- how you find your authentic self in the struggle against whiteness?
- how can you consider the journey as a pendulum forward and backward/not left and right and even maybe not a linear line at all?
- how whiteness can be a resistance to really listening and how ancestors and our bodies speak to us when we do deeply listen?
- how the belief in the power of choice and agency plays out in our lives when we deeply listen within
