    Dec 6 2024

    In this episode, I speak with Thema Bradford about the intersection of Black mental health, autism, and the journey to decolonize therapy. Thema, a licensed mental health counselor and Reiki Master Teacher, shares her experience of entering the field at 45 and how her journey was inspired by her mother.

Thema introduces her group "Late Pass," which offers a space for Black women discovering their neurodivergence later in life, and shares insights on how to find grace, empowerment, and healing along the way.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that we are already whole and deserving of compassion.

  • Is Location Independence a Pathway to Liberation? A Talk with Stacyann Forrester and Dr. Norissa
    Nov 29 2024

    In today’s episode of Radical Remembering, I’m joined by Stacyann Forrester, an astrologer and global traveler, to explore the concept of location independence and how it can serve as a path toward liberation. Stacyann shares how moving away from traditional ideas of security, structure, and attachment to a fixed location can lead to personal growth and authenticity.

    We also tackle how our cultural backgrounds, and experiences living abroad, have shaped our perspectives on identity; Stacyann's journey to location independence; how astrology played a pivotal role in her journey; and how embracing an “outsider’s identity” has brought both challenges and growth.

  • Afro-Latino History and Liberation: Dr. Norissa and Jennisel Marte on Overcoming Internalized Oppression
    Nov 15 2024

    In today’s episode of Radical Remembering, I speak with Jennisel Marte about the complexities of racial identity, internalized oppression, and the journey of reclaiming an Afro-Latina identity. Jennisel, who proudly identifies as Afro-Latina, shares her experiences growing up within a culture that often pressures Afro-Latino individuals to reject their African roots in favor of a whitewashed identity. Together, we delve into the challenges Jennisel faced in embracing her Blackness, navigating societal expectations, and decolonizing her understanding of her cultural history.

    Jennisel sheds light on the importance of understanding how race, ethnicity, and culture intersect, especially for Latinos of African descent. She also discusses the erasure of Indigenous and African influences in Latino history and the need to recognize how colonization has impacted personal and collective identities.

    This episode is a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to define oneself beyond the narratives imposed by colonial histories.

  • Angela Watrous & Dr. Norissa on Confronting America's Colonial Legacy & Ancestral Healing
    Nov 1 2024

    In this episode, I sat down with Angela Watrous to delve into her journey of making her first documentary, In the Wake of Our Ancestors. Angela shares how her ancestral lineage healing, especially on her father’s side, led her to embark on a powerful journey retracing her family's migration through the United States, from 1636 to today. We discuss the discovery of her ancestor's involvement in Native American genocide and the complex emotions that emerged when confronting this harsh reality.

    Through the lens of a white woman grappling with her family’s history of colonization, Angela explores the themes of inherited privilege, grief, and the need for collective reckoning with ancestral harm. This conversation also taps into such questions as, What does it mean to reckon with your ancestral history? And How can we navigate the complexities of grief, privilege, and healing?
