I'm really interested in kind of what you started with there, which is: how do you work with an anger so that it doesn't become corroding? And I read a book called sister outsider by Audre Lorde, and she's got an essay in there called the uses of anger, and it was a huge light bulb moment for me when she writes- and I'm paraphrasing- that anger in and of itself is neither negative nor positive, it's just an emotion.
How often do you pause to think about genuine inclusion and racial justice? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Austin Channing Brown, a powerful voice in the realm of racial justice and the author of *I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness*. This re-released conversation is packed with insights that challenge and inspire.
Brown opens up about her experiences as a black woman navigating a predominantly white society, sharing the complexities and emotions tied to this journey. She delves into the importance of practicing true inclusion, understanding the nuances between appropriation and appreciation, and how anger can be harnessed for positive change. One striking moment is when Brown talks about transforming negative thoughts into constructive actions, emphasizing that anger itself isn't inherently good or bad—it's what we do with it that counts.
Whether you're new to these discussions or have been engaging with them for years, Brown's perspective offers valuable food for thought. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of racial dynamics in America and explore ways to foster inclusion and justice, this episode is a must-listen.
