I think it's that Maya Angel quote that I'm sure I'm going to not get perfectly right, but when you know better, you do better.
Tammi Salas and Sondra Primeaux, the dynamic hosts of The Unruffled Podcast, are known for their deep dives into how creativity can fuel recovery. But in this episode, titled 'We Can Do Better', they take a significant detour to address an equally crucial topic: anti-racism. In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, the duo decided to pause their usual programming to reflect, listen, and learn.
They openly discuss their own blind spots and feelings of shame around race, making it clear that this journey is as much about self-awareness as it is about activism. Tammi and Sondra share a variety of resources they've found helpful, from impactful books like 'Stamped from the Beginning' by Ibram X. Kendi to insightful podcasts such as 'On Being' featuring Resmaa Menakem.
They also talk about practical actions they're taking to foster a more inclusive and anti-racist community within their recovery spaces. This episode is not just a conversation but a call to action, encouraging listeners to examine their own biases and take steps toward meaningful change. If you're ready to explore how anti-racism intersects with personal growth and recovery, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging starting point.
