I know that when I say privilege, I don't mean I don't work hard. But that's not what we mean by that right. My understanding of that that's not what it means. What it means is though is that I could work half as hard as someone who was of color and get the same job and I have absolutely experienced that throughout my life without question.
What does it mean to truly listen to those who have been silenced for too long? In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', David Lewry sits down with Michelle Robinson, the voice behind 'Native Calgarian'. Together, they tackle heavy yet essential topics like politics, truth and reconciliation, and the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and 2 Spirit individuals. Michelle's candid reflections offer a raw look into the systemic issues that racialized and marginalized communities face every day.
She emphasizes the urgent need for safe spaces where people can express their pain and anger without fear of being ignored or dismissed. Her words remind us that creating these spaces is not just an act of kindness but a necessity for genuine change. If you're looking to understand the deep-rooted challenges faced by Indigenous communities and how we can all play a role in healing, this episode is a must-listen.
