In this episode Terra and Weeze break down what’s required of each of us to ensure we’re moving toward collective liberation. A part of that is understanding how to work with our privileged and marginalized identities. Just because someone holds a marginalized identity doesn’t absolve them of perpetuating systems of oppression, so it’s important for each of us to learn how to listen and follow, as well as understand when it’s time to lead depending on the situation and what we’re currently standing up for.

ABOUT TERRA ANDERSON

Terra Lyn Anderson MA, R-DMT, LPC Registered Intern, has devoted their life to being a conduit for the healing connection between body and mind for both individuals and the collective. While pursuing their graduate degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology at Naropa University, Terra began to envision what the healing potential of embodiment would look like on a large societal scale, with people aware and empowered by both thought and feeling, attuned to one another, in love with and trusting of their own bodies, and able to consciously and intentionally regulate their nervous systems. 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT

• Why having a marginalized identity doesn’t absolve someone from reproducing systems of oppression and being held accountable. 
• The art of decentering and learning how to operate within our privileged and marginalized identities.
• How privilege affects the body and what it does to us when it’s unhealed and unacknowledged.
• The emotional labor and toll it takes on those with marginalized identities to hold space and educate.

CALL TO ACTION

• Do your work to separate biological sex from gender identitiy. Separating anatomy and body parts from the gender identity that a person holds, so we can transform the conversation around gender.
