Encore: I Am Not My Socialization with Dr. Tee Williams

To honor Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, we’re releasing an encore episode of “I Am Not My Socialization” a conversation with social justice expert, educator and all-around game changer, Dr. Tee Williams. As many in the US and in the global community make a larger commitment to shine a light on racial injustice and to "do the work" individually, this discussion from last summer between Nikki and Dr. Tee is a wonderful resource. Dr. Tee Williams has over 20 years of experience helping people learn about the complexities of diversity & inclusion, organizational leadership and personal development. This episode of Checkbox Other covers topics from social justice work & burnout, to the oppression experienced by both dominant & targeted identity groups, to toxic masculinity, to challenging your internalized oppression, to the magical invitation of being “called in,” to critical liberation theory, to a deep dive on tone policing. This is an episode where you’re going to want a pen and paper nearby to take notes and soak in all that Dr. Tee’s teachings have to offer you. Even if you had the chance to hear the episode last year when it first launched, we encourage you to take another listen through the lens of today's current events.  Class is now in session!
