trans-Apocalyptic Oasis

I am super proud to be sharing this discussion I had with Ēlen Awalom on the trans-Apocalyptic Oasis Show. I truly believe that her lived experience and evolution from Radical Black Feminist to Embodied Leadership Coach has the power to be transformational for many who are searching for a way to move beyond the limitations of woke ideology. Ēlen declares that the Revolution is not to be found out there—it's inside each of us! We explore the following: 👉🏾 What is Post-Blackness? 👉🏾 What does it mean to transcend blackness in a world that is still deeply racist? 👉🏾 What does post-blackness look like in action? 👉🏾 Ēlen's personal experience with Patrisse Cullors, founder of Black Lives Matter 👉🏾 Marxist stage theory, and what actually is late-stage capitalism?👉🏾 Bringing a trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive approach to health care and politics 👉🏾 and more!
