    Decolonization with Portia Burch Pt. 2

    Portia Burch is a Black queer activist and Omaha native with a specific focus on anti-racism work and abolition. Portia was activated by the murder of Michael Brown Jr. and the subsequent protests and riots in Ferguson, MO. As consciousness shifts towards reckoning with racism and white supremacy in the world, Portia is working to create spaces that are just and equitable as a way to build communities that are focused on healing and growing. She does this by curating and nurturing spaces to unlearn and decolonize behaviors that have upheld racism and white supremacy culture. Her priority is and will always be the uplifting of Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of the global majority. She is intentional in her work so that people working to be active anti-racists and social justice accomplices understand that by making the groups they advocate for their priority, the decolonization becomes a natural act and creates effective change. What You Will Hear: The motivation for and importance of podcast episode “Let’s Heal Together: Make the Most Marginalized Voices the Ones Most Heard”The unaddressed white supremacy in the LGBTQ+ communityWhy black women, cisgendered, lesbian, hetero, and trans are still the most disrespected and silenced womenHow Portia deals with moments of hopelessnessSurviving suicide attempts.  Lifeaversaries Quotes: “I need for queer white people to remember that they are white first…….You can be white and gay, white and bi, white and poly, white and pan, any of those things, but you're white first, which means that if we're standing  in a line and we're talking about anti-black rhetoric, you can appear to be straight and you don't have to deal with any of that. You might internalize it, but are you directly harmed by it? No, because nobody knows that you're queer.  For me, if I wanted to, I could tuck my queer away, but I'm black all day long.” “Twitter is the place where critical and cognitive thinking goes to die.” “White women need to know that they still benefit from the patriarchy because the men that are in office, even though they're making laws that are detrimental to all white women, it's gonna hit them last.  It’s gonna go through us first.” “A sense of urgency is a characteristic of white supremacy.” “Rest is an act of resistance, rest is an act of liberation and rest is a requirement not a reward.  The sense of urgency isn't helping anybody because we're rushing to do things  and  what we're actually fighting for isn't working.”\ “If you're not checking in with you, if you're not touching in with you,  part of you starts to die.” “it's important to be loved. It's important to allow people to love you. It's important to share that love with somebody else. Whatever that love looks like, platonic, romantic, whatever the case may be, it's just important to have people.” Mentioned @portia.noir Instagram Tiktok X Linktree https://portiaburch.com/ White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide I AM Music Group

It's white people never do anything wrong.  White people expect black people, indigenous people and other people, the global majority, to just give them a free pass, to accept the same apology over and over again. The tears.  the caring, the acting out because you didn't get your way, those are all  characteristics of whiteness because white people can get away with it.  You’re melanated people cannot.”  “You cannot be an ally in a war that you created.” “there's no reason why  a black child at five years old can have a conversation about race and a white child can't.”  Mentioned https://portiaburch.com/ White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide I AM Music Group

You can find out more about Jill Nagle at EvolutionairyWorkplace dot com. What You Will Hear: Corporate contract work and Jill’s focusHealersDismantling white supremacyDysfunctional white psyche Quotes: “I think that dismantling white supremacy, mythology, that work ought to be done by white people  and it ought to be done by white people seeking out other white people, particularly those who are resistant because we have a certain kind of privilege. “ “The compartmentalization is attached to the, into the individualism of the white culture and so it can compartmentalize it and not necessarily feel this today and recognize it tomorrow, and that is yet another bit of access and privilege that can be experienced on behalf of the white culture.” “I think that what white supremacy, mythology does to white people is it strips us of our full humanity. “ “Poor and working class white bodies do not have a collective identity within which to organize.” “My intent is to shift the discussion from whether or not an individual white person is racist and how racist are they, that kind of provokes defensiveness and shame, to let's stand together and look at this phenomenon called white supremacy mythology that we are all subject to and let's think together and work together to unpack that from our beings so that we can feel more sane  and we can be more effective in dismantling it and preventing harm to black and brown bodies.  Mentioned Evolutionaryworkplace.com LinkedIn Robin DiAngelo Lily Jang The Ethical Sellout Jacob Holt American Pictures Daryl Davis I AM Music Group

    Transgender Truths and Education with Angel Buck

    Buck Angel's message of empowerment through self-acceptance and the mission to encourage everyone to be comfortable in their own skin - whatever that means to them - has struck a passionate chord with people around the world.  Buck was born female on June 5,1962. He never felt female and struggled through life until he had the life-changing opportunity to transition from female to male and finally live life authentically. He had many obstacles during his transition mostly due to no information for transitioning for FTM transsexuals. Since then he has managed to live his truth and he continues to help to educate the world with his story. His mission is to inspire people to redefine gender and to foster a new generation as they discover the fluidity of sexuality and navigate gender politics. His message, "It's not what is between your legs that defines you." has sparked many conversations and opened minds.  Buck is a truth teller and he is here to share his perspective and experience today on Change the Narrative with JD Fuller.
