<p>In this episode of Deep Resonance, we (Mish and Tamice) dive into a candid conversation about our experiences as people from marginalized backgrounds navigating the complexities of social justice, allyship, and personal transformation. </p> <p>We discuss the importance of centering voices from the margins and share some of the cringeworthy ways well-meaning folks sometimes miss the mark - from comparing transgender identities to drag performances to equating Asian representation with buying from a Chinese restaurant. </p> <p>We also wrestle with the tensions that arise when privileged people speak out about oppression in ways that feel performative or self-serving, and explore how we can move towards true solidarity and collective liberation.</p> <p>A major theme of our conversation is the need to go beyond pursuing &quot;justice&quot; within oppressive systems, and instead work towards deep, holistic transformation on both an individual and societal level. We reflect on how our own journeys have led us to embrace non-alienation, recognizing our shared humanity even as we challenge dehumanizing beliefs and actions.</p> <p>We also talk about the importance of grounding our activism in lived experience and relationships of accountability, rather than settling for shallow &quot;wokeness.&quot; And we share some exciting news about an upcoming course we&#39;re offering for those who want to dive deeper into these topics in community!</p>
