Crafting Your Equity Lens, with guest Matthew Reynolds
Manage episode 315499145 series 3091079
What is your truth? What are the systems that get in the way? And what will be your way to build unconditional belonging, nonetheless?
In this episode we explore the sincere insights and genuinely beautiful approach of Matthew Reynolds to create a fundamental impact on the intersectionality of oppression (systems of racism, colonialism, sexism, capitalism).
Matthew is a recent author, former teacher, artist. He is a facilitator and consultant in the DEI space with a deep perspective on the human experience, doing powerful, foundational work.
He gracefully and bravely shares his own lived experiences that now inform his work to help people craft their own equity lens.
An Equity lens is a tool crafted by the individual, utilising their own lived experiences. Ever evolving, as one meets new people, has new experiences, gains knowledge and wisdom, and recognizes what their own definition of antiracist work is. For the purpose of building unconditional belonging. A call to action.
This means exploring:
What is your truth?
What does it mean for you to become your biggest, fullest and brightest? And equally offering others that personal dignity?
What gets in the way?
In this conversation we talk about spotting limiting beliefs as well as systems that are hurtful and harmful. To the point where you can calmly be in conversation and say, “No thank you. I don’t subscribe to that ideology.”
When you craft your own equity lens, you will have a tool for yourself that shifts your consciousness and truly changes the culture around you. And, big picture: shifts the consciousness of humanity.
