Safety vs Comfort (Episode 36)

Safety vs Comfort (Episode 36)

As we approach the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, and the international calls for racial justice, it is important to evaluate our collective progress in social justice work. Shaunna and Lisa remind us this week that conversations around race and racial injustice have to be sustained in order to make transformational change. The further we get from a catalyzing moment, the harder it can be to keep the momentum going. Outrage fades and with it, the energy to continue the work seeps away. Since engaging in conversations about racial injustice and our role in holding up oppressive systems are difficult, we sometimes recoil. The discomfort many of us feel in these moments is then translated as a lack of safety or worse, as an attack. And so, we disengage. But these feelings of discomfort are necessary to move towards actual change. Misinterpreting them is a manifestation of our hesitancy to own our privilege and for white people, their white fragility. In this week’s episode, Shaunna and Lisa discuss how we can frame conversations around race so we all move forward with real “un-sugar coated” discussions. We have to face our discomfort and work through it in order to maintain the momentum of this work. One year on, where are you? Where do you still need to go?
