I AM Wisdom [Featured Guest: Brittney Thomas]

IPR Fam, we have officially entered into the second half of the year...how you feel? What are you continuing to affirm into yourself and your life? The month of August taps into the sixth chakra, the third eye. Host Chelsey Sincerray and featured guest Brittney Thomas tap into the sources of inner wisdom and why it's important to remain grounded in your truth, expression and identity as a human being on earth. This episode was recorded on August 9, 2023 in Chicago, IL Audio engineering by Chelsey Sincerray Featured Guest Bio Brittney is a community builder, healer, and facilitator that operates from an abolitionist, trauma-informed, anti-oppression/capitalist lens. Through their decade-long non-profit career, they’ve realized that as long as the same oppressive structures and systems are integrated into our work, we are not actually doing liberation work. They offer a radical, black, trans, queer approach to liberation work concerning the livelihood and sustainability of marginalized communities that are often left out of the larger conversation around community care. As a black, queer, and trans nonbinary person, they understand their very existence is directly tied and deeply connected to everything they do. They hope to continue to find communities and individuals that recognize that we are the experts of our own lived experiences and no one is better able to identify our needs than we are. Systems and institutions can't and won't sustain us, but WE can.
