In this episode Weeze and Anna talk about what it takes to step into activism and use our voices for humanity. Folks are often so worried about getting this process of transformation wrong they cut off the part of themselves that can learn and do better. This method of thinking is one of the ways the work becomes stagnant. No one starts this journey as an expert, but those who are committed to change are the ones who are open and interested in learning. Y’all, we all need each other to use our lived experience and privilege to create possibilities for the more marginalized identities around us. That’s what this is all about in the grand scheme.
