Episode Summary
Gabes Torres, island women (she/they/siya), speaker, theologian, artist, racial trauma psychotherapist who is working in decolonizing and anti-racist research, graduate student at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, talks with us about decolonization, race, faith, and the impact on bodies of color. How can we be anti-racist?
Gabes states, "The Spirit of colonialism exists today -- Internalized oppression, which is another way of saying that for a lot of folks that have a history of colonization in their own nation, they have a tendency to reject their own-selves and consider the white, western ways of being as superior as compared to their own."
