Under the oppressive systems of white supremacy and colonialism, and the internalisation of "whiteness" in the dominant culture, how can the practice of reparative philanthropy re-story colonial narratives of power to shift to flattened hierarchies of giving and receiving?
In today’s episode, we are in conversation with Hilary Giovale, a mother, writer, and community organizer. Being a ninth-generation American settler, she is descended from Celtic, Germanic, Nordic, and Indigenous peoples of Ancient Europe. As an active reparationist, her work is guided by intuition, love, and relationships to transmute harmful philanthropic practices to ones rooted in reciprocity and equitable giving.
Hilary’s recent book Becoming a Good Relative shares remedies for the debilitating shame that can overtake white Americans when facing their peoples’ colonial past and our current complicity with systemic white supremacy. It offers a unique methodology, supported by African American and Indigenous Elders, which we dive into the depths in today’s conversation.
