What keeps us divided? In this deeply personal episode, Tracy reflects on her childhood, systemic inequality, and the invisible forces that pit us against one another. From racism and privilege to patriarchy’s grip on society, she explores how these systems create division and how true leadership means confronting them head-on.
This isn’t about blame—it’s about understanding. What happens when we stop accepting the status quo and start questioning the narratives we’ve been taught? Tracy unpacks the ways power structures are designed to keep us separate and the courage it takes to dismantle them.
What You’ll Learn:- How patriarchy thrives on division and hierarchy
- The connection between privilege, racism, and gender inequality
- Why unity is the biggest threat to oppressive systems
- How personal empowerment leads to collective change
“Prejudice doesn’t come from confidence—it comes from insecurity. People who feel whole don’t need to diminish others.” — Tracy Crossley
