ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Doing the work of shifting systems toward equity and equality can take a massive toll physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
It’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough when you’re working against systems that existed long before you. But it’s important to remember that it’s not your debt to pay.
Erica shares a reminder about the debts that we owe, and the importance of doing the work in community.
In this discussion:
-

-
Honoring both your capacity and responsibility as you do DEI work
-
Why community and interdependence are vital to paying the systems’ debts
