The guest speaks about the need to continue the battle against racial injustice and the relevance of philosophical ideas such as critical race theory in achieving that.
The speaker shares their experience of witnessing the impact of Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou's work on Black voices, highlighting the need for white people to listen and understand their consistency for over 400 years.
The speaker discusses the importance of turning inward and focusing on self-love as a way to heal from past hurts and injustices. This approach is especially important for individuals from marginalized communities who may have been giving to others for too long without receiving the same level of care for themselves.
Dismantling racism requires making uncomfortable choices and having difficult conversations. No one can effect change while remaining comfortable in the status quo.
When we ignore or deny issues, we are more likely to suffer, become frustrated, and angry. It's crucial to address a situation or grieve when needed to avoid getting hurt the most.
