New #Podcast Episode! 💜 🇵🇷Are we ever truly free from the chains of oppression? As people, as citizens and as women? A look into the experience of #PuertoRico, case study.
In this episode we explore:
✨What is the colonial mindset?
✨How internalized is the oppression within our education, economic, political and social orders and systems?
✨How inferiority plays out on people and how double is the task to break free for women?
✨Which beliefs, ideologies, behaviors do we allow to persist through time? Which shape our national and personal identity?
✨Why the colony of Puerto Rico is different from other colonies and which similarities can we find in Chechnya and Georgia’s case?
✨How macho culture still harms the Puerto Rican diaspora, where are the voices of women and why are males the ones enjoying the privileges of gender in the US?
✨What is the process of breaking free from this toxic mentality?
✨How many independent republics in Latin America are reproducing imperialistic perceptions of power?
✨Can we truly call us free when we live and seek to thrive in social dynamics and structures that are inherently violent?
✨Can we stop the pity against colonized people? Can we stop the judgement and start hearing, seeing, allowing them to be?
✨How colonial is our relationship with gender violence? Are some types of feminism a new way of continuing the oppression?
