Redefining Patriotism
Description
Hey, hey TBD Fam!
It's a holiday week here in the U.S. and if you, like me, don't feel particularly celebratory celebrating the idea of "freedom" in a country when so many freedoms don't exist, you're not alone!
Since waking up to White Supremacy in 2016, I've been on a deliberate journey of redefining my relationship to the U.S.'s past & present while doing the inner work of staying steadfast to the possibility of a more equitable future.
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my choice to abstain from celebrating the 4th of July and honor it instead. Plus, the work I'm doing in this season to maybe reclaim this holiday (still undecided) and most definitely the process of redefining patriotism.
