    Blame White Supremacy on the Pressure to Do It All

    Blame White Supremacy on the Pressure to Do It All

    When I wrote the title of the episode, I couldn't help but think about several comments I've received on posts I've written on Instagram that usually read something along the lines of, "you will really blame everything on white supremacy, won't you?"
    The answer? Yes, yes I will. At least, almost everything. Everything that has to do with society and culture and in our modern, western world. Because it's true. It is factual and provable. Our modern society was built on the premise of white, Christian dominion over all things "good" and everyone else being exploited in order to ensure the "goodness" remained in the "right" hands. As a result, we are left here: dealing with the tragic consequences of white supremacy culture that are practically killing us. 
    In this episode, we're talking about the pressure to do it all, how "doing it all" is a symptom of white supremacy culture and a brief history of how it all started. Tune in to find out that it's really not you, it's society.

    Why I’m Deconstructing My Faith

    Why I’m Deconstructing My Faith

    On this much-anticipated episode of the Meant For This Podcast, Caroline J. Sumlin gets vulnerable as she shares what led to her begin deconstructing her faith after nearly 15 years of devotion to Christianity. Caroline still identifies as a follower of Jesus, as that will never change, but is committed to the practices of unlearning toxic and harmful theology that Western/American Christianity has taught her.

    How White Supremacy Stole Our Self Worth

    How White Supremacy Stole Our Self Worth

    White Supremacy Culture is ingrained into every fiber of our society, so much so that its normalization makes it almost invisible. However, once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you can't unsee it, you'll do anything to divest from it. 
     
    In this episode, we will be discussing how white supremacy culture is the reason we struggle so much with our self-worth, as its harmful standards and lies of perfection have infiltrated our neuropathways from every corner of our culture.

    Call Me Black with a Capital B

    Call Me Black with a Capital B

    If you've ever wondered why we often capitalize the B in Black when referring to Black people but do not capitalize the W in white when referring to white people, then this minisode is for you. Take a quick listen to not only learn the importance of culture and heritage to the Black community but to be challenged to reconnect with whatever your cultural heritage is and put your heritage above our society's constant pursuit of whiteness. In this episode, the fearmongering myth about being ashamed of being white will be busted and replaced with the truth about what whiteness means and why it is harming us all.
