Ep 131: What does resilience serve?

Send us a message via text message! Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅Resilience has gotten a bad rap recently. The ability to “bounce back” has been conflated with the requirement to bounce back into oppressive dynamics. But it’s those oppressive dynamics, not the bouncing back, that’s ultimately the problem. In this episode, April explores the difference between the gift of resilience and the ways in which it has been weaponized by capitalist and neo-colonialist contexts, and previews the work she’ll be leading in the Redefining Resilience workshop next week.Secure your spot in the workshop: joyousjustice.com/resilienceDiscussion and reflection questions:What in this episode is new for you?
