Sharing about this workshop...

Did you know fatphobia, racism, elitism, xenophobia, and many other harmful biases as we know them today have their roots in Toxic Christianity and inaccurate beliefs that have been passed down using the power of the church and the name of God?
(1) Image
These messages have been internalized by society and dismantling them and divesting from them takes concerted effort.

These are the types of things we will be discussing and learning about in this workshop.
(2)
I am so excited to partner with @OurBibleApp to offer a workshop on Christian supremacy and decolonizing Christianity.

5 weeks, all online, we will interact and together chip away at all the harmful messages we’ve been carrying as truths.
(3)
Spaces are limited so if you want to participate please sign up as soon as possible.

If you want to participate but don’t have the funds please DM me as I have a couple scholarships available. Marginalized identities get priority.

Jewish Zionism is a response to hundreds of years of oppression and persecution. For many Jews it’s the only response. Jewish Zionism didn’t come out of privilege but out of marginalization.

A few caveats before I keep sharing what I’ve been learning in the last few years:

1/
Christian Zionism is anti-semitism full stop.

The actions of the Israeli government against Palestinians citizens are despicable, we can oppose governments without hating the people those governments claim to represent. For US citizens, that’s life every day.

2/
To talk about Zionism without understanding the history behind its conception is to ignore how generational trauma and systemic oppression work. Therefore it is to miss an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past. Zionism is a response to oppression, that’s relevant.

People raised by high control adults grow up unaware of the most authentic version of themselves, our personality and life choices are often a response to trauma.

The journey to ourselves is a reparenting that requires tools we’ve never had and support we may have not seen.

1/
One things is for sure, we won’t find this version of ourselves within high control spaces/relationships, they activate our childhood trauma and the version that responds is the survivor who had to so whatever was needed in order to survive the abuse of high control.

2/
Perhaps you are not a pushover, a liar, a perfectionist, bossy, a people pleaser… maybe you simply have never felt safe enough to be authentic, vulnerable, kind, soft, assertive… because you’ve never experienced healthy relationships/spaces.

Christian friends I say this with all the love in my heart. Antisemitism is embedded in Christian theology. I have said and believed horrifically antisemitic things. It’s taken me years of intentionally listening and learning from Jewish folks to see what I didn’t know.

1/
Antisemitism has existed for several millennia, Christianity has been at the center of it for the last two of those millennia. Our Jewish siblings have suffered pogroms, displacement, abuse, mistreatment and genocide over and over and over again, at the hands of Christianity.

2/
And I thing it’s worth sitting in the grief of that reality and doing everything we can to end it. Jewish people include people of all races, and the ones erased, the most and most vulnerable right now, are our Black and Brown Jewish siblings.

Observing Independence Day.

While Independence Day commemorates the founding of the United States and the ideals of freedom and liberty, it is essential to acknowledge the stark contrasts between these ideals and the experiences of Black people and Indigenous communities.

1/
Capitalism played a significant role in the oppression and marginalization of both Black people and Indigenous peoples throughout US history. The institution of slavery, driven by economic interests, dehumanized and exploited Black individuals for centuries.

2/
The profit-driven slave trade and the labor-intensive plantation economy were integral parts of the capitalist reality in which we now exist.

Hey friends,

I was strapped by feet and wrists to a bed, against my will, and given haldol even though I was just grieving loss.

The cops and medical professionals at the hospital were so unprofessional an abusive that I’ve been in a panic for over 48 hrs.

1/
Please scroll down at your own discretion.

TW: medical abuse.

I am having a rough year, we all know that. And I currently live in my sister’s basement because we had to flee CA to ensure the protection of our kids.

2/
The last week I’ve had to navigate a lot of new grief, including heartbreaking business conflict, the death of a loved one’s trans child by suicide, and all my own trauma and pain from where we are in life with Caleb after all the years of fighting religious abuse.

I want to share something tender with you.

I don’t want to be a Christian anymore. I am not anti-Christianity. This is my journey, and I want to share it with you all. I am not, at all, trying to prescribe it, it’s just my journey.

1/
I’ve tried, I really have, I’ve tried to hold on but Christian spaces; progressive, conservative and everything in between, are just too harmful for me. They keep on harming me and I got to a place where I don’t understand what the point of holding on is.

2/
There is nothing good, healthy or necessary for me inside Christianity. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.
