    02. On Love, Operationalising Empowerment, and Why We Need To Speak With Each Other

    We share our response to the first episode of the Colours of Being Podcast (you are all way too kind!). We continue to reflect on how to build a community and organisation that is truly rooted in empowerment and how that is tricky in a system that has face validity, but where intention and impact often disconnect. We discuss the complexities of belonging in a diverse society and the role of privilege in empowerment. We end on a declaration to establish a Community Cafe initiative aimed at fostering connection and provide a space to start conversations among people right here in Gothenburg, Sweden. And please: Start sharing, start having conversations about how you actually feel (joy and grief are equally vulnerable). Allow yourself to be here. Name what you observe, all the colours. Arrive in reality and don’t continue to feed into collective denial of experiences that we are all having. Talk to your friends, your co-workers, your family. Be real. And from there we can move forward and see what we are actually dealing with. If you want to share with us, please do. Find us on Instagram, Facebook, Substack, comment wherever you found the podcast. We would love to hear your thoughts.
