What does it mean to have a radical approach? For Joceyln Roderiguez, it’s about pushing the norm, and often being the only one doing it. Today we’re talking (surprize!) about dismantling white supremacy, this time with a focus on education & our value systems that surround it.
We didn’t want this conversation to end! Joceyln is an educator, entrepreneur, community advocate, and all-round powerhouse. Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.
Listen to hear us talk about:
-
Intersection of international education and social justice, identity
-
What does it mean to be radical?
-
The whole picture of education (housing, income, poverty)
-
Dismantling systems that uphold characteristics of white supremacy
-
Being able to hold the greater picture in focus to sustain your activism
-
Radical self-acceptance, self-love, and rest
-
Activist burnout
-
Being aware of our egos in activism; people’s activism will look different to ours
-
“Reaching back”: not leaving our communities behind, recognizing and using privilege
