  • S04E03: The spiritual is political

    24/06/2020 Duración: 01h45min

    Malek shares with Parneet a post she recently wrote about the housing insecurity and domestic violence she is currently experiencing and has lived in all her life (tinyurl.com/malekspost) and together, they speak about the spiritual and political work they both do as Brown femmes to live inside of and to fight the violent systems of racialized capitalism and white supremacy. This conversation does the difficult, necessary work of connecting the systems we struggle against and navigate with the daily, granular work of standing in the power we do have as adults who choose to live consciously and with integrity.

  • S04E02: White Psychosis

    31/05/2020 Duración: 02h46min

    Malek and Parneet speak about white supremacy and colonization as the riots in Minneapolis and throughout the US and Canada take place in justice of George Floyd, and other unarmed and innocent black folks getting killed. We decided to meet each other exactly where we're at and make space for what showed up. This is a conversation that is deeply rooted in a courageous, compassionate call for non-Black people of colour like ourselves to do what we can and to do better. What you'll hear is a passionately, painfully real conversation on how we're showing up for ourselves, for the people we're in relationship with and for the movement to respect/honour/celebrate Black life. We go deep on decolonizing ourselves and divesting from the psychosis that is white supremacy. We look at white supremacy through the lens of psychosis, as an illness of the mindbdysoul's disconnection from reality, and how to navigate and survive these deadly forces that pull us towards fear, hatred and disembodiment.

We are so used to hearing about these countries from other (read: white) people's perspectives but what about those of us living in diaspora? How do remember and reconcile; relate and rebuild?

    This conversation is inspired by Vivek Shraya's latest book I'm Afraid Of Men - we all agree it's incredible and encourage everyone to go read it.

  • S3E21: Whats Your Real Name?

    09/11/2018 Duración: 55min

    This episode is a doozy. Its Parneet, Dona, with special guests Angie, Taha and later on SJ.

  • S3E20: Say NO

    03/11/2018 Duración: 01h06min

    Its just Dona and Parneet this time. We start with a blessing verse over breakfast and then speak about building the ability to freestyle, be creative, dance and stay creative. We discuss the difficulty in keeping creative momentum going and how space, family and social environment influences our internal experience of figuring out what we desire and going for it! We also speak about getting sexually harassed outside of a show by two white men and celebrate the ways we protected ourselves and our energy. We also speak about how difficult it is to negotiate our energy, space and boundaries as women and what it means to connect to instinct in this unpredictable misogynistic world that has forced women in many ways to unlearn/mistrust our instincts. We invite you to join us and yell NOOOO if it feels good to do so while putting your hand out in a STOP movement. May we all be safe and supported in all we do.

  • S3E19: Ripple Effect

    19/10/2018 Duración: 01h21min

    This chai chats is Malek and Parneet. We speak about friendship and relationships, connection to each other and reaching out in times of sickness/unwellness and how vulnerable and difficult this is. We talk about how relationship building is part of the movement, how we need to learn to connect and stay in relation with each other with political movements. The ripple effect of how we relate to our own emotions affects how we relate interpersonally which affects how we relate systemically.

  • S3E18: Life Dysmorphia

    12/10/2018 Duración: 01h14min

    We share chocolate mousse cake on Dona’s couch and Malek speaks about how to live a life as a single person, how to settle down into the present experience rather than live as if waiting for something else to happen. We speak about the struggles in doing things for oneself, and share our unique experiences in moving towards self-love/self-hood. We speak about how our internal experience of aloneness can be so different based on the perspective we take on, whether we are judging/pathologizing that loneliness/aloneness and the quality of it experientially based on our pasts and histories. We speak about freedom and the pursuit of freedom being so unique to each of us based on our history, circumstances and personality.

  • S3E17: We Don’t Know Anything

    09/10/2018 Duración: 01h22min

    We have a delicious breakfast together and speak about the important of speaking from our own experience, our own truths and how challenging it is to not centre other people in our narratives. How to navigate relationships with integrity? How do we participate in hurting each other and ourselves by not standing in our truth? We speak about our roles and responsibilities in each others lives in community, what jobs have we consciously and unconsciously taken on in trying to heal/help one another? We discuss the idea of what collective conflict resolution infrastructure looks like. We agree we don’t know anything as we try to figure this all out. Content Warning: We speak about blood a lot as a metaphor for how we spill our messiness on each other.
