Decolonizing Relationships: BIPOC Perspectives with Dr. Badiee, PolyTherapist
In this episode of the Relationship Diversity Podcast, I have a profound conversation with Dr. Badiee, a polytherapist and professor of psychology at California State University.
We discuss the complexities faced by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships within the context of white supremacy. Dr. Badiee shares her personal and professional journey, emphasizing the need to center BIPOC voices in polyamorous discourse. The conversation covers the importance of critical self-reflection, decolonizing relationships, and increasing representation in academic literature.
Dr. Badiee reveals insights from her recent research on polyamorous BIPOC communities and highlights the rich contributions these communities bring to the understanding of love and relationships.
