S2 Ep7: Embodying Anti-Racism, Perfectionism, Accountability and Love | Amanda Appiagyei

Conversations with Nova Reid

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Amanda Appiagyei, one of my anti-racism students. Amanda is a brand strategist helping people to build business and lives that feel more joyful, a lifelong learner.
Amanda and I had an incredibly raw and honest conversation about her anti-racism journey, her experience of being in an interracial marriage with two mixed heritage children and how this has affected her anti-racism work. We talk about when Amanda realised she needed to do this work, how to know when you’re embodying the work and some of the hardest and most transformative lessons Amanda has learned along the way.

In the episode we also discuss:

- Whether social media is a help or a hinderance to anti-racism

- Trauma and the how white women uphold white supremacy

- Upholding anti-racism work, causing harm and perfectionism

- The importance of accountability

- Love and anti-racism
