Can I Just Say? with Nikki La Croce Nikki La Croce

This insightful discussion delves into personal agency, control, identity, and the profound impact of systemic racism, with a focus on transforming understanding and fostering societal progress. 
In an enlightening and deeply moving conversation with Rev. Brig Feltus, founder of the Remember Institute, we embark on an exploration of the nuanced and multifaceted nature of race, power, oppression, and community healing. Through Brig's wealth of knowledge and compassionate perspective, we delved into the historical roots of oppression, the psychological underpinnings of privilege and bias, and the transformative power of community and awareness.
Emphasizing the importance of mental health, community involvement, and the rejection of consumerist complicity in oppression, the Remember Institute’s 'Heal Thyself’ program aims to foster a collective understanding, empathetic dialogue, and a dedicated movement towards healing racial divisions and transforming societal structures.
