Meg Visits, Part 2
Today we talk with our friend Meg about "legacy burdens" of our culture: individualism, materialism, racism, and patriarchy.
These are terms that 'describe' the burdens, but being, individual or participating in capitalism in itself is not bad, but when these privileges become burdens then a society can suffer.
The idea behind identifying legacy burdens is to un-burden a society; again it's about first becoming aware so we can understand how we got to where we are today. of course this is a broad topic.
Dancing With Race
Allison Lanford grew up in a small town in Central California where everyone in her small bubble was hard working, Christian, and white. Just a few short months after starting college Allison met the man who would become her husband. He is hardworking, Christian, and black.
2020 was a VERY difficult year for people of color here in America. Allison never imagined that racism would be a part of her regular life or that she would be faced with having “the talk” with her very young son.
This conversation is timely, vulnerable, and eye-opening.
