The Menstruality Podcast 91. How Cycle Awareness Can Help You Uncover Your Race Story (Dr Sunshine Kamaloni)
Understanding how to dismantle racism is a charged and complex topic. So today we’re exploring how menstrual cycle awareness can be a profound ally as we work to unravel our own unconscious bias, and find our way of deconstructing oppressive systems.
My guest is Dr Sunshine Kamaloni who has a PhD in cultural studies and a deep cycle awareness practice. She shares from her own personal journey working with her inner seasons in her equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging work to unpack how the muscles that cycle awareness grow in us can help us to uncover our own personal race story.
We explore:
- What a race story is, how they underpin unconscious bias, and how they impact us differently depending on where we are in the structure of the system.
- The blessings of inner winter as a time to rest, stop, ground and nourish as we take stock of who we are and how we sit with race, inside a safe container with less charge.
- How our own inner critic can actually be a supportive force as we uncover our race stories; as a truth-speaker showing us our blindspots and a guide in evaluating our progress.
