After a 13-year hiatus from podcasting, Leesa Renée Hall is back with the Inner Field Trip podcast. In this episode, Leesa shares what’s to come in Season 1. She shares what the Inner Field Trip is and who benefits the most going on one. In particular, here’s what you’ll learn:
- How Leesa’s background in podcasting prepared her for the work she does today
- The reason why her work is directed to Highly Sensitive People and Deep Feelers
- Why marches, protests, and sit-ins don’t work for Highly Sensitive People and what they can do instead
- The reason why anti-racism or anti-bias work cannot be undone in one meeting or workshop
- Why #BlackLivesMatter doesn’t mean painting the words on a city street and what people of African descent are truly asking for
- Why Leesa is NOT an anti-racism educator and why her body of work encompasses more than just critiquing skin colour privilege
- What perspective Leesa uses to help us understand the origins of our unconscious biases (including the two educators who helped create her deep interest in this discipline)
- How a teacher’s denial of chattel slavery in Leesa’s Grade 10 American history class influenced her to be #SilentNoMore
- Why uncovering how her mother got a French last name on an English-speaking Caribbean island sparked Leesa’s deep interest in uncovering her lineage
- The nuance of Leesa’s complex ancestry and how she resolved being the child of the oppressed and the oppressors
- Why having NO biological children is NOT an excuse not to have 7th generation thinking, as coined by the Iroquois people
- How the tragedy of Hurricane Hazel that hit Toronto in 1954 changed a bylaw that generations today benefit from (an example of 7th generation thinking)
- Why the inner work of exploring unconscious biases is neither glamourous or pretty, and why you need to have the courage to get messy
