Are We Living in a Dystopia?
Transmuting Anger into Action, Cognitive Dissonance + Community Care
no, you’re not crazy for thinking we’re probably living in a dystopia.
the past few weeks have completely upturned and uprooted our understanding of humanity and justice, specifically in regards to the ongoing genocides in Palestine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and beyond. for weeks on end, we’ve been witnessing some of the most gruesome, horrific, vile documentation of these human rights violations and atrocities and feelings of despair still linger in the air for so many of us.
the least we can do to support and humanize thousands of men, women, and children undergoing these atrocities- is to bear witness. and transmute that hopelessness and despair into action.
we’re starting with an emotional pulse check first, and diving deep into how we can unpack cognitive dissonance and move through feelings of anger and hopelessness into tangible action items that initiate change. the collective efforts for liberation cannot be done in silos, and it takes every single one of us to recognize our role in social and justice movements worldwide.
in this episode we share:
how to recognize cognitive dissonance and reconcile with a conflicting value/belief system
how to transmute feelings of anger and hopelessness into action
community care and self care from a decolonial perspective
