#43 Fight The Funk Podcast
We are all on a continuum of learning and teaching.
Such as learning how to balance social ills and still finding ways to enjoy life.
Two main ideas were explored in this episode:
One of the examples he uses is the Black Joy Parade in Oakland, an annual celebration that takes place during the winter.
Making trauma-free blackness a norm. That is part of the work.
Exploiting, enjoying black life is often like binge-watching trauma porn.
As the research and learning take place it is important not to Fox News yourself.
You can create an inner narrative of dark and gloom. Preach fear to yourself.
Something to monitor while going over information to solve problems.
If too much emotion is added to information it becomes toxic...
= Manic episode
= Depressive episode
= Disorienting
= Numbness
In a Global world, an information age?
How do we allow information to affect us? There is no easy answer.
It is one of the challenges of a lifetime. Like everything else in life.
The challenge to find balance.
