In this episode, Erin shares her experience of receiving feedback and criticism for printing merch for a Terra Incognita Media fundraiser from a former Terra community member.
She discusses the importance of discernment when receiving feedback, explores the concept of white feminism and the need for continuous learning and unlearning, and reflects on her own journey of “waking up” to her attachment to the construct of whiteness and the mistakes she made along the way.
The episode highlights the complexities of navigating feedback and the importance of self-reflection and growth. She discusses the importance of coupling somatic healing with anti-racist work, and how they go hand in hand.
Erin also addresses how too often as white women (people) we channel our anger and grief at each other because we’re easier and more accessible targets than the out-of-reach systems, institutions, and corporations who are contributing the most to climate chaos and oppression.
Individuals and small businesses are not the same as big corporations or entire extractive industries. She explores the concept of discernment and the dangers of holding each other to impossible standards.
Erin plans to continue the discussion in part two, where she will delve into advice as to how to navigate criticism, feedback, and call-outs, and provide insights as to how to continue showing up as a confident and capable leader and being visible in your work.
