The Afro Animist Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Today's discussion on Spotify delves deep into the intriguing topic of "Girl Bossing" and the hidden fallacies that might lurk beneath its glamorous surface. We explore the notion of being caught in the never-ending cycle of hard work for capitalism, all under the guise of feminism. Is it truly a spiritual endeavor to push oneself to the limits within this system? Or are there other paths to empowerment and fulfillment that are worth exploring? We also scrutinize the idea of going back to the home and whether it offers a more liberating alternative or if it too is entwined with restrictive and patriarchal constructs. Join us in this engaging conversation that unravels the layers of contemporary feminism and its impact on our lives. Together, let's examine the complexities of empowerment and societal roles, and share your perspective on these intriguing questions. Keywords: Girl Boss, Capitalism, Feminism, Empowerment, Patriarchy, Women's Roles, Work-Life Balance, Contemporary Feminism, Empowerment Narratives, Social Commentary, Cultural Discourse. Tune in for an insightful exploration of these thought-provoking themes and contribute your voice to a conversation that challenges our preconceptions and inspires meaningful dialogue. 💪🌟 #FeminismDebate #Empowerment #GenderRoles #SparkingDialogue

Over here @theafroanimistpodcast hq we have been stepping out! We are making an effort this year to go and take part in the events and work with the healers that inspire us. Last month we headed down to @hotyogapeckham to take @nurturingfolk beautiful ‘Rest and Renew’ Retreat!!! A mix of breath work and sound healing, became a very very juicy two hours of creating space to breath, be and actually relax. Ali @nurturingfolk took us on a deep and beautiful journey of release. I can’t say we were expecting it to be so powerful, but working with the breath creates such a wonderful opportunity to move and shift trauma stored in the body without having to actually think about it….  Tune in on Wednesday for our interview with @nurturingfolk  Eager to join a class?

Did you spend this weekend marking Imbolc, or the Feast of Maman Brigitte?  This time of year marks an equal point between winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, where we start to see a turn in the seasons. This is where the death and cold of winter begins to subside and the newness of rebirth begins.  In Haiti, and New Orleans Vodou, the Feast of Maman Brigitte marks the start of this transition bringing awareness that energy is moving. In the British Isles, Imbolc is a Pagan holiday once again, observing this precious energy.

This week on The Afro Animist Podcast, we deal with the topics of Toxic Positivity, Victim Blaming and abuse.  It's so easy in the spiritual community to slip into states of Toxic Positivity, especially when it's so heavily preached and it can be a wonderful distraction from healing.  But when we get to the nitty gritty, it's so important to talk about the negative side of these concepts so that we gain a more nuanced understanding of the Human Experience. Only then will we move towards a society that's actually safe and validating for all .

We’re back this week with our first episode of 2023!!! Also, it just happens to be our first birthday this week! We’ve been thinking (and chatting) a lot about the meaning of new year, the pressure of it and the reality of what is is really to force new beginnings in the depths of the dark time of the year. We’re feeling like #2023 is a year to get #selfinvolved Fix up look sharp and love. Set those boundaries and don’t back down. Offer your support to people because you can but don’t let the stuff become yours.
