Decolonizing Polyamory & Relationship Anarchy Ep. 9

I'm no expert on racism. But I am a person who's always learning and growing and challenging my own internalized racism. I consider this podcast and my other platforms to be absolutely anti-racist. So while this may not be a topic I address very often it is a topic that I feel passionately about. So today I'm sharing a conversation I had with my friend Kyra. Kyra is a solo poly relationship anarchist and a person of color who's passionate about hard cider and social justice. She is a child care and birth worker of color living in Seattle with her two cats and her turtle and in her spare time she grounds herself with reading and nature and loved ones, and is just a phenomenal human being. I'm really excited to share this conversation with you.
