Content warning: this episode contains strong language. As a piece of our anti-racist journey, let's learn how to re-wire and purge the racism inside us through excavating poisonous limiting beliefs. I am not claiming to be an expert or qualified to talk about this topic - I am researching and stumbling and doing my best, alongside you. If you are white like I am, this is work we will do for the rest of our lives, and we are about 400 years late. In honor of the Sagittarius Full Moon on June 5th, a global illumination (full moon) of where we have trapped ourselves and others as an opportunity for liberation (sag), this is an honest conversation about how I’ve been excavating racist ugliness that’s been living inside me, inside all of us, for generations. The growing number of black-bodied deaths as a result of police brutality and hate crimes is inviting white people into a new level of honesty for change, away from guilt and denial paralysis. and The Three of Pentacles, the medicine that showed up for this episode, reminds us that it's time for all of us to play new and updated roles. Anti-Racism work is our soul work now. No more standing on the backs of black people to solve problems they didn't create. It's time to hold ourselves accountable. As for feedback, I would love to hear from white people who have taken the time to think about these topics to point out ways that I may have misspoke or perpetuated harm. Black people, I apologize in advance for anything I say here that perpetuates violence against you, in addition to the ways that I already have. You do not need to spend any of your time correcting me, but know that that door is FULLY open.  connect@meaghanoherron.com.
