What happens when the systems meant to divide us succeed—and we start doing their work for them?
In this episode, we unpack cultural dissension: how internalized oppression, generational wounds, respectability politics, and proximity to power can fracture our communities from the inside out. We talk about how culture becomes a battleground—where survival strategies are mistaken for values, and difference is treated like disloyalty.
This isn’t about blame.It’s about awareness.It’s about unlearning what was never ours to carry.
We explore:
* How cultural fragmentation is created and maintained
* Why community conflict often mirrors systemic violence
* The cost of turning on our own to feel “safe” or “accepted”
* What healing, accountability, and collective restoration can look like
If we are going to talk about liberation, we have to talk about how we treat each other.
