Where We Go Next32: Pursuing a Lifetime of Personal Growth, with Brittany Talissa KingIt's good to push yourself to think differently - to reexamine your priors, question your beliefs, and change your mind. But it's not enough to switch from Right to Left, or Left to Right, or from Heterodox Pepsi to Heterodox Coke. Introspection is a train without a station - something that should keep going. Writer and YouTube host Brittany Talissa King returns to discuss the sometimes difficult but rewarding task of remaining a work in progress.2 Perspectives, Let's Talk - Live Show with Kimi Katiti - #AmericanShadeDarkHorse Podcast with Brittany Talissa King and Bret...2021-07-061h 52#American Shade w/ Brittany KingS5: Brittany Talissa King & Kimi Katiti: 2 Perspectives, Let's Talk [Race Relations in America]In this new series: "Two Perspectives: Let's Talk"--we discussed *Diversity of Thought* in the Black community, Anti-racism, & the future of race relations in America.

2021-06-0214 min#American Shade w/ Brittany KingS5: A Debate on #CriticalRaceTheory | Anti-CRT vs. Pro-CRT | A Panel DiscussionI'm very excited for this episode, especially with this dynamic group---who are willing to dialogue openly about some controversial topics---more specifically---on Critical Race Theory. Disclaimer: The point of this discussion is not for either position to "win." It's to present a clear picture of why each side is passionate about their stance. My hope is to exemplify why candid, uncomfortable, and perhaps, tense dialogue with the "opposing side"---is the most important step to an authentic start to better race relations for this country.

2021-03-2040 min#American Shade w/ Brittany KingS3: Dear Jordan Peterson...form a former BLM organizerIn this video, I discussed 5 things I've learned from clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson. No, I do not believe Peterson is a god. (I believe in Jesus Christ) And no, I don't agree with everything he says. But as a critical-thinker, one can find value in someone else's POV without agreeing with everything they offer to the world. **ALSO, I no longer lead a BLM chapter because I moved to New York. But, "Black Lives Matter-ing" is a focus I carry in my work. Listening to Peterson DIDN'T change my mind on being a Black activist.
