The act of personal review is more thorough and rewarding when conducted in the company of other women. Our villages are our advocates, helping us uncover riches buried within our experiences. They shine a light on life moments that we may have forgotten––or willfully ignored.
Reflecting on our past can be a powerful tool for growth, especially when shared with others who understand our journey. In this episode of Insideout Conversations, Lisa Lackey sits down with TiShaunda McPherson, a seasoned advocate for diversity and inclusion, to discuss the value of looking back to move forward.
TiShaunda, who serves as the first-ever Chief Diversity Officer at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, brings over 20 years of experience tackling systemic discrimination in various settings. She shares her personal journey as a Black woman navigating predominantly white spaces and the strength she had to cultivate out of necessity.
The conversation delves into the concept of Sankofa, a mythical bird symbolizing the importance of fetching what’s lost from the past to fuel future progress. TiShaunda and Lisa explore how this philosophy can help us retrieve forgotten lessons and treasures embedded in our experiences. They also discuss the pitfalls of being overly focused on caregiving at the expense of self-care, emphasizing the need to nurture oneself to be truly effective in supporting others.
The episode touches on the messy but essential process of 'undoing' for personal growth and the significance of leaving a living legacy for future generations. Community and relationships are highlighted as vital elements in this journey, providing support and encouragement along the way. Tune in to hear Lisa and TiShaunda's heartfelt discussion on embracing our past to build a stronger, more resilient future.
