To be free is to be able to make choices. It is not to be told what to do or not to do. It is more than that. It is the ability to choose how you want your life to go and then do that. Liberation is about choice. It's about the freedom to act according to your own will and desires without being held back by the limitations of others or the rules of society.
In this episode, Dr. Norissa and Dr, Bukky, the podcast hosts, discuss in detail Dr. Norissa’s journey to liberation, how Dr. Norissa maintained her deGEMMification, and the emotions that accompanied Dr. Norris’s liberation journey. Dr. Norissa also easily breaks down for us how we use guilt to orient towards healing, how to handle shame, and the power of collective voice through liberation.
