The audience will gain tools to assist in disentangling themselves from a lifetime of oppressive conditioning at the hands of white supremacy and patriarchy.
We are witnessing systems—white supremacy and patriarchy—breaking down all around us. Unfortunately, when systems of oppression are challenged, they rear up and create chaos. Like a living thing, they begin fighting for survival, and it may seem we are going backwards, not forwards. So what do we do in the face of this chaos?
Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her guests, Tracie Jae and Monette Chilson, as they discuss how we can break down the ways in which we are enmeshed in the systems of white supremacy and patriarchy, and how we can adjust accordingly. Tracie Jae and Monette Chilson will share how their class assists in disentangling ourselves from a lifetime of conditioning and oppressive messaging.

Segment 1
Rev. Dr. TLC introduces her guests back to the show, Monette Chilson and Tracie Jae. Monette and Tracie completed a course, Liberation, that took a look at patriarchy and white supremacy. Tracie explains how they are one system, and that because we’ve been fighting against them separately it ultimately gives them more power. She says we can make a bigger impact by solving the problem together. Rev. Dr. TLC makes a point about having open communication and being able to hear one another. She talks about the relationship between Monette and Tracie; how they must have had some kind of openness and willingness to listen to one another.
Segment 2
Coming back from the break Rev. Dr. TLC clarifies her meaning of equity and how it’s meant to make sure a group has their fair share. She mentions how it’s not a particular attack on one group but we must acknowledge that the system is a white male system that doesn’t work for all. Tracie adds that the white men that are in her friend group are there because they understand the system that they’ve supported has kept black women oppressed. Tracie and Monette discuss their course, Liberation: Freeing Ourselves From Racism and Patriarchy. Tracie explains the steps of the course and how participants were able to examine themselves and what ways we take in the system. Monette talks about a survey created by Tracie that helped understand how ready participants were for the course and their ideas around problematic systems. Before the break, Rev. Dr. TLC and her guest spoke about the demographics and if it affected the course in any way.
