Irresistible (fka Healing Justice Podcast)
Society & Culture
We’re talking with Jacoby Ballard about all things allyship, accompliceship, and solidarity. You’ll hear some captivating stories about navigating layers of identity, privilege, and oppression... a word about pronouns… how practice can help us ground the charge we feel when triggered... and whether we should we even be using the word ally, accomplice, or whose role it is to name those things anyway.
You can download the corresponding practice (24 Practice: Forgiveness Meditation) to join Jacoby in a guided meditation for forgiving ourselves and others.
