Podcasts by Return The Jewels
This podcast is an open space for us to explore issues of colonialism and appropriation. Return the Jewels is a reference to the crown jewels which were stolen and appropriated to back a global empire's wealth. On this podcast, we talk with remarkable guests about how we can contextualize the oppressive past to explain the hopeless present. We are building a community and movement to de-sanitize the carefully curated history that constrains us.
