In this episode, we sit down with theologian Priscila Alves Gonçalves da Silva to explore how faith, solidarity, and human resilience intersect in times of socio-economic despair. Drawing on her personal experiences growing up in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and witnessing her mother’s struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic, Priscila delves deep into the feelings of helplessness caused by modern capitalist systems. She reflects on how the working class often internalizes guilt for their poverty, and offers insights on how solidarity can dismantle these harmful narratives.
Priscila shares her powerful call for action rooted in liberation theology, emphasizing the spiritual and ethical need to unite against exploitation. Through her story and expertise, we are invited to rethink what it means to care for one another in a world where survival often feels like a solitary struggle. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on finding hope, faith, and collective strength in the face of overwhelming challenges.
