<p>If you follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/choosetobeaware/">@ChooseToBeAware</a> on Instagram (which I hope you do!) you might have seen that the theme for this month is all about unlearning.</p> <p>Unlearning distorted versions of history or false ideas we’ve all been taught over time.</p> <p>And when it comes to unlearning racist ideas, especially racist words and phrases we often use, who better to talk to than Sadia of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_LanguageMatters/">@_LanguageMatters</a>?!</p> <p>That’s exactly what you’ll get to hear in this episode!</p> <p>We had a conversation back in early May where we talked about all kinds of things. We dissected racist and antiracist words and phrases, and we talked about how unlearning on its own isn’t sufficient and how it needs to be combined with action in order to truly produce change.</p> <p>My hope is the conversation will illustrate why it’s so important for us to be aware of the words that we use, and that we choose them carefully.</p>

<p>It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since I started Choose Awareness.</p> <p>And wow, what a year it has been.</p> <p>I’ve learned a lot. I’m stilllearning a lot! And I can honestly say that my own thinking has evolved on some topics and ideas, even when it comes to Choose Awareness.</p> <p>And I was reflecting on that very idea not long ago when it hit me. I’ve never really shared much about why I started Choose Awareness in the first place, or what I initially intended it to be!</p> <p>So I decided to make a podcast about it.</p> <p>The vision hasn’t changed, and that’s still to foster empathy and inspire activism.</p> <p>But I have landed on a slightly different mission than the one I started out with, and I’m excited about it because I feel much more confident about what the purpose of Choose Awareness truly is and how I hope to leverage any influence it might have in the future.</p> <p>That’s what you’ll hear me unpack in this episode, along with me sharing a little about my own personal journey and what things like justice and racial justice and social justice mean to me.</p> <p>Hopefully, you’ll hear something you can relate to or that you can take away and apply to your own journey as it relates to social justice!</p>

<p>I’ve been wanting to have a conversation with my friend Sherita Harkness for a while now, and I’m so glad we were finally able to make it happen!</p> <p>I’ve known Sherita for 5 years or so, and she is just an incredible human being. She’s smart, funny, and an incredible communicator. You’ll get to hear her share a little about her story as well as what it means to her to be seen as someone who deserves a seat at the table.</p> <p>She has an incredible way with words, and I hope you’ll enjoy listening to her as much as I did.</p>
