- Society & Culture
Hi there and welcome to Cultivating Conversations, an unscripted podcast presented by Fluxus. Previously known as No Notes, Just Vibes, the girls decided this rebranding was aligned with the integrity of the podcast. We appreciate you coming along for the ride and allowing us the space to grow and evolve!
*We apologize for the audio, as we try to troubleshoot the best way to record our podcast episodes while the gals are in two different countries.
In this episode, sit down with Nikole and Ren to chat about mission trips and the "white savior" complex. We hope you enjoy this episode and get something out of it. We appreciate you so much for listening and for your support.
We want to encourage you to continue the conversation with yourself or with other close individuals in your life! Here are the questions that were discussed in today's episode:
1. What constitutes a mission trip & what is a "white savior" complex?
"The term white savior is a sarcastic or critical description of a white person liberating, rescuing, or uplifting non-white people; it is critical in the sense that it describes a pattern in which third world peoples are denied agency and are seen as passive recipients of white benevolence" - Wikipedia
2. Are mission trips good/ethical/helpful?
3. What is your experience/perception of mission trips, is it inherently connected to the "white savior" complex?
4. What are better alternatives to mission trips to third world countries?
