Dismantled

Thank you, Dismantled crew for shining the light on such important issues facing our communities and our profession. You bring honesty, humor, and depth to complex conversations such as opression, cultural identity, trauma, well-being, and healing. You each bring such a unique and empowering perspective. By listening to your show, I feel enriched and empowered as a social work educator of color to keep doing the work that is so needed to create change. Thank you for this much-needed breath of fresh air!

I had already set my official intention for 2017 as "Ask". As in ask for what I need and want. And you know why this isn't easy. However, I asked for more podcasts from women of color. Episode one is in keeping with another intention I have in 2017 but was afraid to acknowledge. I listened to that episode and stepped into my truth. It's time to undo and dismantle what I have been taught. It's time to look more closely and claim who I am as a black woman in this world. Living in West Virginia I know it'll be a challenge but it's time. Thank you for the conversations in this podcast.

It's so refreshing to listen to these fierce women of color pour knowledge, deepen our connections and give grounded perspectives on what folks of color go through in the US.
