3.7: Service, Not Saviorism - a podcast by Jasmine Bradshaw
from 2020-12-15T08:11:22
Are you serving or trying to save? In this episode I unpack white saviorism and the detrimental effect that it has on communities in our backyard and across the globe. If you want to transform your good intentions into confident action consider these 5 reflection questions:
- Is the organization I’m partnering with led by BIPOC?
- Where am I on my anti-racism journey? What preconceived notions do I have about the community I am serving?
- When and how am I going to learn about the history of the community I am serving?
- What is my attitude towards the people I am working with?
- What am I going to do if my service begins to look more like saviorism?
