Freedom is a powerful thing. It gives you the ability to do whatever you want, be who you want, and make the right decisions for you. Liberation is about choosing how you want to live and having the right to do so. It's about having the right to say no when someone else wants something from you. It's about having a voice in your community and being respected by those around you.
In this episode, Dr. Norissa and Dr. Bukky, the podcast hosts, go through Dr. Bukky’s liberation journey. Dr. Bukky shares more details about her deGEMMification process, her experience before her call to action, and her activation points through liberation. Dr. Bukky also sheds more light on her evolution towards liberation, liberation in a predominantly black context, and liberation is a lifelong journey.

(16:00) “To become liberated, there is an intentional decision we make to say we are no longer going to be a GEMM.”
