Why It's Important to Center Relationship + Resources in Liberation / Andréa Ranae Johnson

In today's episode, Andréa Ranae Johnson, founder of Whole Self Liberation, joins me to talk about centering relationship in our movement towards liberation. We also talk about divesting from the narrative of activism as suffering and why it's important to motivate ourselves beyond simply not causing harm. 

We also discuss:

• How she found herself on this path from a young age
• How she accepted what felt like a calling
• How we can intersect our lives with justice regardless of who we are 
• The practice of honoring herself and the work of personal liberation 
• Bridging the need to have resources and also work towards new systems 
• Centering relationship in liberation work
• How it’s not enough to only orient around not doing harm
• How being nice is different from being loving
• Understanding the difference between creation and destruction
• Why we need to emphasize the creative process in order to stay open to possibilities
• The liberation school that she’s building
