During the month of February 2021, Camille Morgan, host of the Love, Sex & ABA podcast and Regional Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Blvck Womxn Worldwide, joined us as our first honored guest. She was interviewed on our new podcast, Tipsy Unicorns in partnership with the Beautiful Humans: The Social ChangeCast. Our crew then spent the entire cycle focused on the lessons we learned from her perspective, and considering what we could do at the Me, We, and Us systems levels as influenced by what we had learned.
Her Perspective on Oppression: Throughout her life, she has experienced differential responses related to her intersectional identities (i.e. she is a Black, cis-gendered woman, lesbian, and military spouse). She and others from her generation have suffered from the erasure of identity (e.g., older generations promoting the message and behaviors of "colorblindness"). She has often been questioned or second-guessed particularly when she's speaking about issues from the perspective of her various identities.
Her Perspective of Liberation: She focuses on balancing her time, energy, and resources more equitably across her identities to ensure she's caring for and able to express her whole self in the way she desires to be seen. Her goal is to help others raise their consciousness so they can freely see the world for what it is. She believes that people need to continue to refine their ability to notice racism in all its forms.
