Black Mental Health and Autism: Dr. Norissa and Thema Bradford on Decolonizing Therapy

In this episode, I speak with Thema Bradford about the intersection of Black mental health, autism, and the journey to decolonize therapy. Thema, a licensed mental health counselor and Reiki Master Teacher, shares her experience of entering the field at 45 and how her journey was inspired by her mother. Thema shares the importance of finding community, embracing one's neurodivergence, and navigating societal systems rooted in patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism.

Is Location Independence a Pathway to Liberation? A Talk with Stacyann Forrester and Dr. Norissa

In today’s episode of Radical Remembering, I’m joined by Stacyann Forrester, an astrologer and global traveler, to explore the concept of location independence and how it can serve as a path toward liberation. Stacyann shares how moving away from traditional ideas of security, structure, and attachment to a fixed location can lead to personal growth and authenticity. We also tackle how our cultural backgrounds, and experiences living abroad, have shaped our perspectives on identity; Stacyann's journey to location independence; how astrology played a pivotal role in her journey; and how embracing an “outsider’s identity” has brought both challenges and growth.

Afro-Latino History and Liberation: Dr. Norissa and Jennisel Marte on Overcoming Internalized Oppression

In today’s episode of Radical Remembering, I speak with Jennisel Marte about the complexities of racial identity, internalized oppression, and the journey of reclaiming an Afro-Latina identity. Jennisel, who proudly identifies as Afro-Latina, shares her experiences growing up within a culture that often pressures Afro-Latino individuals to reject their African roots in favor of a whitewashed identity. Together, we delve into the challenges Jennisel faced in embracing her Blackness, navigating societal expectations, and decolonizing her understanding of her cultural history. Jennisel sheds light on the importance of understanding how race, ethnicity, and culture intersect, especially for Latinos of African descent. She also discusses the erasure of Indigenous and African influences in Latino history and the need to recognize how colonization has impacted personal and collective identities. This episode is a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to define oneself beyond the narratives imposed by colonial histories.
