In this episode, Vonda kicks off with a message around the value of learning. Vonda says, “Eventually when white people have had enough, you’ll learn. Take that pill.” You can you do it. You live, love, cry, loose, bleed, scream, grieve, laugh, choose, pray, ask… “It’s unfortunate, white people have not learn to metabolize complex difficult or challenging feelings. However it’s important to take that jagged little pill with the recognition that Black people never get the privilege of comfort.” You learn.   Connect with Vonda on LinkedIn. https://bit.ly/3qOS4Eo Watch LIVE episodes of The Group Chat here. https://bit.ly/3mfRFrv

Do some research into your own family history, get to know who you are and from whom you’ve come is a part of Vonda’s advice in this latest episode of WWPHHE. Ask yourself what is true for you - what do you actually believe? Act on that. Stand on that.

In Vonda's words... "When WWHHE, they’ll consider some food for thought and thought for food. When are white people going to unpack your stuff? “White women carry the water and do the dirty work for men.” Those same 40% of women who owned slaves before 1865 are working in HR, Marking and Legal and Government Relations, in hospitals, schools, corporations, banks, and every other industry. Today they are delivering the same punishments as their - but with advanced means. Today the same descendants leverage technology, power and Anti-Blackness to maintain status quo. “When white people have had enough they will treat each other as sisters and stop letting each other get harmed by the patriarchy?" The Body Keeps the Score is a book Vonda recommends to help unpack internal trauma. If you’ve been abused in the past, you must heal, rather than heap your past trauma on others. Anti-Blackness is the foundation on which we operate and until white people are unhappy with the status quo. The food for thought; how long will we continue a debased society where women hurt other women on purpose!"

In Vonda's words... "One of the things to unpack, with the quickness, is your family history. Understanding and unpacking the truth about your family history is a major key to unlocking your current beliefs, attitudes, actions and the underlying frameworks within. It also serves as an on-ramp for personal healing. Although uncovering your family history is often a painful journey for many, it’s critical for growth and I'm glad I've been on a personal healing journey for more than a decade that has changed my life."  Vonda says, “You are connected to your history even if you’re not in contact with them any more. They are part of who you are right now and today. Look for the truth in your family history to learn more about how you think, feel and act. Unpack your family history and learn to live with and in truth!" Want to know more about our LinkedIn Learning courses?

In Vonda's words... "President Biden warns that people capable of giving birth will be arrested when they cross the border. Why are people letting these conditions stand? In this episode Vonda breaks down some of the undiscussed issues she feels critical to advancing the efforts of true equity and eventual liberation for all of us. Abortion, deleting period apps and urgent care are among a few points she touches and she asks if white people are happy with heir rights being diminished. Vonda believes that when white people have had enuf they will decide what type of person they want to be and move in that direction. According to Vonda: "When white people have had enuf they will “Unpack Their Sh*t.”" Want to know more about our LinkedIn Learning courses?
