S2, E9: Educate, Reflect, Act: Addressing Anti-Black Racism (with YouthREX)

This week on The Revolutionized Mind, we are joined by two members from the YouthREX team, Rahma Kiongozi and Cyril Cromwell. In this powerful conversation, we dive deep into the realities of anti-Black racism, including what it is, how it continues to shape our world, and why it's essential to remain actively engaged in dismantling it. We begin by unpacking the foundations of anti-Black racism through a historical lens, noting that these systems continue to operate and have lasting impacts on black folks today. This episode also challenges us to confront our unconscious biases through self-reflection and critical reflexivity. We are encouraged to approach this necessary work with grace, humility, and a willingness to learn. We discuss the importance of “calling people in” - creating space for education and conversation rather than shame or exclusion - and explore what true equity and sustainable inclusion look like in practice. This episode is an invitation to deepen our understanding, reflect on our roles in change, and take action from a place of compassion and accountability.

Thanks so much for tuning in today! If you enjoyed the episode, please don't forget to leave a rating and/or review on whatever platform you're listening on. New episodes will be coming out every Friday. Be sure to follow me on social media @therevolutionizedmind for all the updates!
