What's good, Culture Keepers? Another intimate conversation with just you and me, Deborah Axé, on You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast, today. Got friends who are "white" or "straight" and but they could use some polishing on being better allies? Save, time, money, and therapy by sharing this episode with them! Are you "white" and know that your “heart is in the right place” but suspect you keep putting your foot in your mouth? Are you a guy who lives in a world of females and you’d like to understand us better? Today’s episode is part one of a series on how to be a better ally. I share stories of mistakes I have made and witnessed and what I learned. Some of these adventures are funny; some of them are sobering. Whether you are male, female, Black, White, Latinx, LGBTQI+, we are all in this decolonizing process together. We are fighting gentrification worldwide by supporting Culture Keepers.

"We work with groups of white-identified people...in [c]reating a racially just society[. This] will also require changing the implicit beliefs... that shape our attitudes as well as our institutions. Topics... include: how our personal histories intersect with... US history, from settler colonialism to gentrification, how to understand white supremacy, as a culture, as a system, and as a collective wound, how we can learn to bear witness to the pain and suffering racism enacts on people of color, and, finally, how racism impacts our own personal and collective well-being. https://beyondseparation.net/ (https://beyondseparation.net) Nation Wide organization for supporting and organizing Workers Rights, Migrant Rights, Health and Safety in the US. https://ndlon.org (https://ndlon.org) In Northern California: Graton Day Labor Center /Centro Laboral De Graton celebrates and honors day labor communities.
