Conscious Catalysts Ep 1: Shiloh and Tyler

Tyler and Shiloh are both Māori and share how their cultural identity shapes how other aspects of their identity intersect and collide. They share similarities in how they feel the weight of inherited cultural responsibility and expectations. We talk about colonisation, misinformation and the difference between systems powered by control and those powered by belonging. We agreed that the personal is political for all and choosing to stay silent is often related to privilege. Conscious Catalysts is a series of kōrero to share stories of people who are living and learning intentionally so that they might provoke and catalyse systems change. The series shares the lived experiences of LinC’s Te Whāriki team members, intersectional leaders exploring and activating the intersections of their identity to provoke systems change. It has been developed as a collaboration between Leadership Lab’s Rourou project, Te Whāriki project and PlainsFM.
