Capitalism (Part One)

Join Peppermint for an enlightening exploration of capitalism in this episode, where we're joined by Dr. Nicole Truesdell (@drnicoletruesdell), an abolitionist, creative, astrologer, and anthropologist whose Ph.D. expertise sheds light on the intricate workings of societal structures. Dr. Truesdell guides us through a nuanced deconstruction of capitalism, revealing its mechanisms of control and suppression while delving into its intersections with race, gender, and sexuality, emphasizing its disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. Drawing from anthropology, she unpacks the historical and cultural roots of capitalism, inspiring listeners to envision a world liberated from its grip, where justice, equity, and collective well-being prevail. Through storytelling and analysis, she offers practical strategies for resistance and transformation, empowering us to confront capitalism's grip and cultivate alternative modes of existence rooted in community, solidarity, and liberation. Join us in this thought-provoking exploration as we reimagine our world and reclaim our agency in shaping a more just and equitable society, where all individuals can thrive free from the shackles of exploitation and inequality. Welcome to a conversation that ignites dialogue and inspires action toward a brighter future for us all.
