Our CEO, Berwick Mahdi Davenport, joins our Soul Focused Radio hosts to continue talking about innerwareness. Innerwareness is a Soul Focused Group term that we define as the way our first mind communicates with and directs our second mind. In this podcast M begins by exploring why he and a lot of other racial equity workers felt defeated. M spent years being a racial equity trainer and after all his hard work he felt like there was something missing from organizations and movements. He believes that the side effect to being social conscious is only being able to see the world’s problems, and losing sight of our own self work. A big portion of this podcast consists of our hosts and M explaining how self work is not selfish. We are often socialized to believe that focusing on ourselves is a selfish act. We learn from our peers that taking the time to focus on ourselves makes us self centered, selfish, greedy, and egotistical. We want all of our listeners to know that putting yourself first is not selfish. Christin shares how she followed her innerwareness, and found herself lonely after doing all the work. Becoming spiritual conscious can feel lonely when you are the only one doing the work. However, we can demonstrate how integrating our social and spiritual consciousness can improve our way of life.
