Decolonized Soul Trailer

What happens when an Afro-Puerto Rican artist and a Korean sociologist sit down to unlearn everything we were taught about who we are supposed to be? DeColonized Soul is a journey through memory, identity, and liberation — one conversation at a time. Together, Min and I open up the wounds, the laughter, and the stories that remind us healing is rebellion, and truth is freedom.

Episode 1: DeColonized Soul (Intro)

In the first episode of DeColonized Soul, hosts Lucas Rivera and Dr. Min Choi introduce the heart behind the series. This is more than a podcast—it’s a space to name what’s been erased, to reclaim what’s been buried, and to begin the work of healing. Through their personal stories as an Afro-Puerto Rican artist and a Korean sociologist, they lay the foundation for the episodes ahead, inviting listeners into a journey of truth, resistance, and restoration.

Episode 5: How Far We’ve Come or Not?

In this episode Lucas and Min take stock of where we are. What does progress actually look like? Who is it serving—and who is still left behind? They reflect on both historical wins and present-day frustrations, offering a real-time meditation on justice, hope, and the long road toward liberation. It’s not about easy answers—it’s about staying in the work.

Episode 4: The American Dream

The so-called American Dream is supposed to promise opportunity, but for many of us, it comes with invisible walls and generational debt. In this episode, Lucas and Min dismantle the mythology of the Dream and look at what it really means for people navigating systemic barriers. With honesty and insight, they challenge listeners to rethink success and imagine a future built on community, not compliance.

Episode 3: Classism

This episode unpacks the quiet but powerful role class plays in shaping how we move through the world. From the art world to academia, Lucas and Min reflect on how classism intersects with race, immigration, and access. Through personal stories and social analysis, they name how these systems isolate us—and how naming them is the first step toward building community across those divides.
