Surrender to Change

When life under domination is all you've known, how do you resist?

In the last episode of our first season, Brendane discusses surrendering to change. We are in a collective, global transition that promises to leave us different than how we began. Change and transition can be scary. In these times, we can choose to live in denial and refuse to acknowledge change, or we can surrender to change with power and righteous certainty.

To help us understand how to resist even in times of total domination, we turn to June Jordan’s wisdom in "Notes Toward a Model of Resistance" (1996). Content warning: There are mentions of rape at 19:28-21:25 and 38:30-40:04. Note that there are no descriptions of rape in the episode. Please take care while listening.

We end with questions for compassionate reflection that help us embrace the change necessary for our survival.

Share this episode with someone who needs some encouragement during these moments of transition.

We’ll be back for season 2 in the fall! Keep up with us on our Substack: black. loved. free. - behind the mic. There Brendane will share weekly updates on the research and writing for season 2 along with other exclusive content.
