Summary

Jameela welcomes Africa Brooke (“Beyond The Self” Podcast Series) to discuss the collective sabotage of call out culture, what Africa did as she realized how intolerant her own audience had become, and what we can learn from Carl Jung about online personas and how we behave online. In this important conversation, they also talk about their own identities and how they've reshaped and rediscovered what it means to be authentic. Africa’s book The Third Perspective: Brave Expression in The Age of Intolerance is available via pre order here: https://africabrooke.com/preorder-my-book

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with
0:02.8	Jameh, a podcast against shame. I'm speaking like this because I am anxious
0:07.1	to see what you're going to say about today's episode. I want to hear what you
0:10.1	think, even if you're mad at me, almost especially if you're mad at me, I want to know what you think, I want to know
0:14.7	how it makes you feel. Did it challenge you in any way? Did it open your mind? Did it piss you off?

0:53.4	lonely within the movement you don't know what to think anymore you feel
0:57.0	controlled you want to leave you want to tap out altogether which is

1:11.7	year all around the world. and so we really need everyone
1:15.0	engaged and we really need everyone to sharpen up the communication skills and
1:18.5	learn how to listen to each other, how to understand each other and come to
1:21.8	compromises and agreements like
1:23.7	fucking adults because what is currently happening is just pushing everyone
1:27.5	away pushing everyone further apart and creating a much more fraught and
1:32.1	lonely and disturbing society for all. and gently touching on the subject for a few years now and you feel an affinity with me when I do.
