Podcast Overview

Introducing Taking Up Space; a podcast by BIPOC, for BIPOC 🤎 We have noticed a theme, through our lived experiences, that many racialized folks can struggle with taking up space. Many of us have been conditioned by colonialism and white supremacy to shrink ourselves, water ourselves down, conform, assimilate, stay silent, carry shame, and put the needs of others above our own to not inconvenience anyone. We hope to represent racialized people being their authentic selves, claiming a seat at the table, and being seen and heard in the fullness of our experiences.

Episode 4: The Importance of BIPOC Spaces

This week on Taking Up Space, Reena, Rehana, and Crystal discuss ways to navigate imposter syndrome as racialized people in the short term and long term. We also begin a discussion around claiming BIPOC spaces and how that relates to imposter syndrome. We reference an article by the eloquent Kelsey Blackwell, “Why People of Colour Need Spaces Without White People” as she discusses ways to heal among our communities and come back to our roots. As always, we hope you enjoy!
