    S2 Ep5: From Ancestral Practices to Political Resistance with Dr. Evan Auguste
    Jul 31 2025
    In this episode, Yolo Akili Robinson dives deep with Dr. Evan Auguste about the role of ancestral practices and spirituality in Black communities, focusing on how these practices can both heal and resist systemic oppression. They examine the tension between inherited spiritual traditions and modern ideologies, particularly within the context of Black churches and the challenges of honoring legacies while navigating the complexities of identity. The conversation then shifts to explore the emotional and psychological impact of rigid gender roles on Black men, particularly how these roles suppress vulnerability and emotional expression. They address how patriarchal structures, both inside and outside the community, harm Black men and perpetuate cycles of trauma, and offer insight into how healing and generative change can happen when we confront these issues. Expect an in-depth discussion on the connections between spirituality, identity, trauma, and healing within Black communities.
