Ancestral Connections | The Roots of Identity and Resistance with Causha Spellman-Timmons | Ep. 20

What does it mean to live as resistance? In Episode 20 of the Revolutionary Social Work Podcast, we sit down with Causha Spellman-Timmons for a powerful conversation on ancestral connection, identity, and the spiritual roots of social work.Causha shares how embodying their truth is an act of defiance in a world that demands conformity. We explore the role of ancestry in shaping identity, the necessity of spiritual practices and sacred spaces, and how healing from generational trauma demands both personal transformation and collective accountability.Revolutionary social work doesn't go by the book. Neither does Causha. It’s soul work. It’s kinship. It’s a return to what colonization tried to sever. If you’ve been yearning for a deeper way to practice, live, and connect -- this conversation is for you.🔗 Visit: https://RevolutionarySocialWork.com📬 Contact: [email protected]🎙️ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@RevolutionarySocialWork/sub_confirmation=1Chapters00:00 – Intro & Theme Song03:20 – Introduction and Context of the Conversation05:57 – Embodiment of Resistance08:41 – Ancestral Connections and Identity13:35 – Navigating Life's Challenges and Collective Care18:56 – Exploring Ancestry and Spiritual Practices24:10 – Creating Sacred Spaces and Altars29:45 – Healing and Generational Responsibility37:57 – Ancestral Wisdom and Identity40:05 – The Importance of Genealogical Testing42:44 – Navigating Spirituality and Organized Religion45:27 – Reconciliation of Spiritual Practices49:58 – Filling the Holes of Our Heritage53:21 – Authenticity in Social Work57:47 – Imagining the Future of Social Work#RevolutionarySocialWork #AncestralWisdom #SocialWorkPodcast #SpiritualityAndResistance #DecolonizeSocialWork #Kinship #SoulWork #CaushaSpellmanTimmons #HealingJustice #IdentityAndResistance© Revolutionary Social Work
