What this episode covers

Spiritualité. Ancestralité. Décolonialité. In this episode, Amy sits down with Maya, PhD, to learn about Natural Beauty as resistance to colonialism, racism, sexism and ageism. We talk about herbalism and tattoos as Maya's ancestral languages, buying as voting, and deconstruction of the self as existential praxis. We discuss kindness, Maya's work in diversity training, and on being multi-lingual, tri-continental, bi-racial, Maya says, " I AM diversity...I am doing this for my ancestors and for my children...My ancestors look at me every day and they are proud...I am beautiful."
