EP. 206 — Brave Expression with Africa Brooke

Jameela welcomes Africa Brooke (“Beyond The Self” Podcast Series) to discuss the collective sabotage of call out culture, what Africa did as she realized how intolerant her own audience had become, and what we can learn from Carl Jung about online personas and how we behave online. In this important conversation, they also talk about their own identities and how they’ve reshaped and rediscovered what it means to be authentic.

 

Africa’s book The Third Perspective: Brave Expression in The Age of Intolerance is available via pre order here: https://africabrooke.com/preorder-my-book

I want to know what you think. I want to know how it makes you feel. Did it challenge you in any way? Did it open your mind? Did it piss you off? I’m open to it.

This shouldn’t be a controversial subject, but it has become a controversial subject because the world of social justice is so controlling. And I know that most of you think it is so, because I read all of your letters and your private DMs where you tell me in despair that you no longer believe in the movement, or you
