Podcasts about for ourselves

Makkah Ali (she/her), Chicago-based podcaster, facilitator, and public speaker, joins BGIO founder Lauren Ash (she/they) in conversation around spiritual seeking and creating spaces for ourselves outside of the white gaze. Makkah is a multidimensional being who makes space for others to find peace and beauty in the many identities they claim. She executive produces and co-hosts the Identity Politics Podcast, which centers the voices of Black Muslim women and features new stories and perspectives about race, gender, and Muslim life in America. In this episode of the Black Girl In Om Podcast, Lauren and Makkah talk about their individual journeys of defining their relationships with God for themselves outside of anyone else’s expectations. Makkah shares about the many ways that wellness and Islamic faith seamlessly overlap in her life. Lauren and Makkah also discuss the power of intentional connection in a white supremacist world that banks on us feeling and being isolated from one another. Makkah encourages us to create spaces for ourselves outside of the white gaze so that we can self actualize and define our values for ourselves.

This morning Ally spoke from Matthew 23:1-12, reminding us that it is through humbling ourselves before God and relationship with Jesus, not through legalism, that we will become exalted. Jago then led the time of prayer, praying in response to Ally's talk: • For Ourselves – that we would live out lives of integrity • For our church community – that we would be authentic in our teaching, worship, prayer & outreach • For our leaders – that they would walk in-step with the Holy Spirit • We also prayed for people to know Hope in Jesus this Easter

Everybody Yearns To Be Free Of Their Daily Stresses, In Order To Be Fully Emancipated Enough To Actually Do What We Can't Afford To Do, Yet Yearn For Daily. Oh To Bask In The Privilege Of Escape From The Mundanity Of What Living Has Become For Many Of Us... That Would Be Utopia, Innit? It's More A Question Of Whether We Aspire To Attain More Out Of Life And Truly Enjoy The Fullness That Life Offers Each & Every Single One Of Us, Or Do We Opt To Keep Believing The False-Realities Sold To Us Everyday As Doctrine, Just To Keep Us Working To Maintain The Status Quo... A Fake Ass Botched Job Please Call Dr. 90210 Brazilian Butt-Lift Of A Status Quo That Actively Lives, Breathes & Feeds Off Of A Lack Of Societal Access To Basic Freedoms. We Live In A Society That Doesn't Even Have The Decency To Trace A Vague Opaque Picture Of What Freedom Would Look Like, If All Creation Were Truly Free To Be As We Were Created, Under The Guise Of Offering Some Tangible Idea Of Freedom, To A World That Has Growingly Become Pretty Enthused By The Idea Of Being Modern Slaves, Because “It Doesn't Feel As Bad As Slavery Ought To Have Felt.” It Used To Be A Question Of “If” The People Woke Up To The Lies That We're Being Used To Keep Selling, How Would Society Change For The Better? Then It Became A Question Of “When” Society Wakes Up, What Will Change For The Better... Now That We Are Growingly Becoming Awoken To The Falsehoods That Have Been Used To Underpin Our Enslavement, Long After The Heinous Oppressive Doctrines Of Slavery, Civil Rights & Apartheid Were Fought And Abolished By Our Ancestors, What Are We Now Doing To Help Create A Better Society, For Ourselves & Those Who Are Yet To Come? The Power Is Now In Our Hands, We Cannot Fail To Learn Lessons From Those Who Abused Their Power To Oppress Us & Deplete Our Great Motherland Of All She Held Dear, We've Gotta Get This Life Thing Right! here Comes A Time, Where Training Ends & The True Battle Essentially Begins... For Many Young Gifted African Seeds, That Time Is Now! You Can't Keep Waiting To Be Told That You're Ready To Lead Your Generation, You Needn't Be Waiting For Someone Else To Show You Where You're On The Right Track On Your Journey, We Can Easily See How Messed Up Things Have Gotten Within Our Society, Because Things Are So Messed Up Within Our Homes, Schools, Workplaces & Social Media Communities. It's A Mess, Simply Because Somebody Profits Off Of Our Mess; Then They Ofer Us Elixirs For Issues That Didn't Really Concern Us Like That At All, Until It Behoved Certain Interests To Peek Our Curiosity / Pander To Our Fears & Wait For The Economically Beneficial Ripple Effect That Comes With Us All Running To Try And Get Right, Or Win An Advantage Over Our Fellow Human Beings. This Recent Pandemic Made Me Ponder About The Level Of Progress We Would See, If Mense Fought To Battle Their Own Personal Demons, Vices, Shortcomings & Obstacles To Progress, As Hard As We Fight Against Vaccination, Xenophobia, Corruption, Bigotry & Racism When Those Real-Life Issues Comes Up On Our TLs Or In Conversations Within Our Social Circles... The Fire To Fight Is All The Way There And It's Litty, I Believe That It Just Needs To Be Channeled Into Actionable Items & Issues That Can Move The Needle Forward, So That We Can Be Truly Free Of A System That Only Exists To Oppress Us & Eat Off Of Our Modern Slave Labour, While Hiding Under The Guise Of Democracy, Free Market Enterprise & “The Modern Way”. Are You Part Of The Problem, Or Part Of The Solution? In My Experience, Those Who Have Been Closer To The Problem, Are Often The Best Conduits To The Solution, Once They Have Unlearned To Actually Learn. Let's All Unlearn, To Learn, Apply & Teach Better Than What We Were Taught. #FPUO #Unlearn2Learn #LoudBoothPodcasts #ForPersonalUseOnly #Episode46 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fpuopodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fpuopodcast/support

The essay can be read here https://theanarchistlibrary.org/libra...   An essay on the relevance of Max Stirner to the Anarcho-communist movement.   Recommended Reading The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner. Stirner’s only book and magnum opus. Unfortunately, there is still only one English translation available, Stephen T. Byington’s. Wolfi Landstreicher is currently working on a new one, slated to appear in the near future. Stirner’s Critics by Max Stirner. In this essay, Stirner (speaking in the third person throughout) clarifies some misinterpretations of his philosophy. The False Principle of Our Education by Max Stirner. In this article, which predates the publication of The Ego and its Own, Stirner critiques both the humanism of the aristocratic style of education, which aimed to produce disinterested scholars, and the realism of the democratic school of thought, which aimed to produce useful citizens. Stirner, while tending to favor the latter, argues that the goal of education should instead be the cultivation of free, self-creating individuals. “The Individual, Society, and the State” by Emma Goldman. Goldman’s most “Stirnerian” essay. “Victims of Morality” by Emma Goldman. In this essay Goldman attacks the spook of morality as a lie “detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people.” The Right to be Greedy: Theses on the Practical Necessity of Demanding Absolutely Everything by For Ourselves. An inspired fusion of Stirner and Marx by this short-lived Situationist-influenced group. For Ourselves argue that “greed in its fullest sense is the only possible basis of communist society. The present forms of greed lose out, in the end, because they turn out to be not greedy enough.” The Minimum Definition of Intelligence by For Ourselves. A critique of ideology and fixed thought coupled with theses concerning the construction of one’s own critical self-theory. The Soul of Man [sic] Under Socialism by Oscar Wilde. This beautiful essay is one of the most eloquent egoist defenses of libertarian communism ever penned. It is not known for certain whether Wilde actually read Stirner; however, he could read German and similarities in style between this text and The Ego make it seem likely that he did. In any case, this anarcho-dandy’s writing is invaluable to the serious student of egoism. Max Stirner’s Dialectical Egoism: A New Interpretation by John F. Welsh. The most thorough and coherent exploration of Stirner’s thought available in English. An exploration of Stirner’s philosophy, his influence on the thinkers Benjamin Tucker, James L. Walker, and Dora Marsden, and an investigation of the relationship between Stirner and Nietzsche.

At this point, you don't have time or energy for extra nonsense in your life. No one does!     So when Jen noticed how depleted & irritated she was by certain people surrounding her in her business, she knew it was time to take some action.     Today's podcast is all about normalizing 2 things: sometimes we outgrow people and sometimes we over-compare.     Both are depleting - and Jen explores what to do FOR OURSELVES when that happens!

Happy 2019 sister! I have so many fun things in store for you this year. A Wildly Alive retreat, a Manifest Money Challenge, and a new program coming out about how to be happy for no dang reason at all, to just name a few.   Yeeehaww!!!   Okay, so for the month of January we’re focused on how to create change CORRECTLY, and specifically talking about creating change in the exercise department.   Right now we’re seeing it everywhere, “New Year, New You -- Get Your Gym Membership!” “Bounce Back From All The Damage You Did During The Holidays!” I’m so sick & tired of this fear-based, punishment-focused marketing: How we interpret this:FEAR of our bodies changing.FEAR of not being accepted.FEAR of being rejected.FEAR of not being enough…. Unless we change.These types of ads are contributing to the problem NOT the solution.Don’t get me wrong‚ I understand wanting to have a stronger and healthier body, but we need to do that FOR OURSELVES — not because we have a fear of being rejected if we don’t.It has to start with a deeper desire to truly LOVE and care for ourselves (not punishment).And that’s exactly what I teach you in today’s audio.Press Play -- you won't be sorry.

Build your own table before demanding a seat at the table of another. For decades we have petitioned to be treated with equity by white America; but have we enjoined equal labor, commitment, investment, love and governance among our own? This conversation challenges us. What have we done amongst ourselves, FOR OURSELVES - except sport and entertainment - that would urge others to welcome us into their society? We must study the successful operations of other groups-and model their self service and self interest. Equality is right-but it is not enough to demand equality without doing an equal duty to ourselves, as others have done for themselves. We will only be respected outwardly when we demonstrate viability inwardly.
