KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- You can't hustle healing!
- In a colonial project, you are treated like you are perceived.
- Your oppression may not be the same as someone else, but it is a problem we are all facing.
- Hire the people that you are trying to make inclusive - we don’t need a spokesperson, we need access to spaces.
- You cannot be an ally to all people.
- Co-creators is a word that works, ally is fighting the system.
- The first marginalization that shows up in a white society is your race, when you can get the white people engaged in their own oppression, now you’ve got a fight.
- Boundaries are what you do to protect yourself.
- Decolonialization work is about collaboration work.
- Always choose you!
