This is the first installment in our Black Women Voices IG Live Series, previously recorded 3/14/22 . I hope you enjoy. We apologize for any audio issues in advance! “ ‘People do not throw their geniuses away' and that ‘if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists, scholars, and witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children… if necessary, bone by bone'” (Walker 1983,92) in Collins 2009,5) Black Feminist Thought The Black Women Voices: Reclaiming our Knowledge Series was sparked by this Alice Walker quote cited in Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought. In this section of the book Collins details how the suppression of Black women's knowledge production is another tool of oppression. The act of suppression via: Exploitation of Black women's labor essential to US capitalism Political dimension of oppression has denied African American women the rights and privileges routinely extended to White males citizens Controlling images applied to Black women's She also details how the identity of being a Black woman creates an intersectional identity where the realities of sexism and racism are inextricably linked, which provides Black women with a very unique and powerful lens on the world, humanity and social injustice. In an act to counter the suppression of Black women voices, Black Women Voices: Reclaiming Our Knowledge is a series TNBC is starting to reclaim the knowledge of Black Women throughout time to both decolonize history and begin to curate our own collective history. Self, community, society Today we will embark on this journey by reclaiming the knowledge of Ms. Lauryn Hill.

What extremism is, how extremist ideologies are constructed, and why extremism can escalate into violence. A rising tide of extremist movements threaten to destabilize civil societies around the globe. It has never been more important to understand extremism, yet the dictionary definition—a logical starting point in a search for understanding—tells us only that extremism is “the quality or state of being extreme.” In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, J. M. Berger offers a nuanced introduction to extremist movements, explaining what extremism is, how extremist ideologies are constructed, and why extremism can escalate into violence. Berger shows that although the ideological content of extremist movements varies widely, there are common structural elements. Berger, an expert on extremist movements and terrorism, explains that extremism arises from a perception of “us versus them,” intensified by the conviction that the success of “us” is inseparable from hostile acts against “them.” Extremism differs from ordinary unpleasantness—run-of-the-mill hatred and racism—by its sweeping rationalization of an insistence on violence. Berger illustrates his argument with case studies and examples from around the world and throughout history, from the destruction of Carthage by the Romans—often called “the first genocide”—to the apocalyptic jihadism of Al Qaeda, America's new “alt-right,” and the anti-Semitic conspiracy tract The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He describes the evolution of identity movements, individual and group radicalization, and more. If we understand the causes of extremism, and the common elements of extremist movements, Berger says, we will be more effective in countering it.

Introduction episode.  Who I am and what does the Aspoonful of Knowledge Series represent? We are all about relationships and consciousness.  Each episode is designed to make us all think.

The grand finale of the Self-Knowledge mini-series! To end, I'm asking you the deceptively simple question: what do you want? It's easy to go through life without really answering this question. Of course, we can answer specifics: like what do you want to order from a restaurant. Or you can be tempted to answer through the structure western society has imposed on us, claiming to want to go to university and settle down with 2.4 kids and get a mortgage and OH MY GOD KILL ME NOW. I'm a big proponent of asking this question on a regular basis and spending a significant time ruminating on it. I do this because I don't want to be fooled into thinking society knows what I want, or into thinking I don't have a choice in the matter. When we know what we want - what we really, really want, as the Spice Girls say - we can aim true and have - obviously - a way better chance in getting what we want and living a meaningful life. OK. So… How do you tackle a question like What do I want?   Full shownotes and FREE download here >>

Again, we're looking to Carl G. Jung for the answers on today's 9th + penultimate episode in the Self-Knowledge mini series.   This is, naturally, going to be more of a woo-woo episode, partly because this area of psychology, in fact the entire branch of Jungian or analytic psychotherapy is grounded in theory, not hard science.   That said, there's an undeniable resonance this stuff has with us humans - or at least a substantial number of us - that gives a serious weight to these themes.   It's as if there's some very old, very ingrained, cellular truth - like a truth you can feel in your bones, rather than measure with a ruler.   Like it or lump it: today we're dealing with the Yin & Yang of our nature: our Shadow self vs our Persona.     Full shownotes here >>

The concept that we all, by our nature, approach tasks and accomplishing things differently actually came as a bit of a surprise to me. l figured the kids I went to school with who left their homework till the last minute or often arrived late to class, were just... naughty. Like, they must hate school even more than I did and might even enjoy detention in some weird masochistic way. It wasn't until I became good friends with one of them that actually loved school, got good grades and even though she left everything till the last minute, the teachers generally loved her. Now, I understand that my friend is a Perceiving type. I on the other hand am a Judging type. If you're familiar with Myers Briggs, you've calmed on to what all this means, but for everyone else: then two functions Perceiving and Judging are about how we approach life: either in an open, flexible way (P) or in a structured, orderly way (J) - which is what this episode of the Self Knowledge mini-series is going to dive into.   Full shownotes here >>

I should point out that whether you're an introvert or not, the way you are affected by your environment still varies a lot between person to person. And you might remember the episode in this series in which I described High Sensitivity - if you're a HSP, you'll likely be more affected by lights and sounds than the average bear, like myself. Regardless of how sensitive you are to your environment, there is still going to be an optimum environment you thrive in. This episode in the Self-Knowledge mini series is going to dig into different aspects of our environment you can start taking into account, and other little lifestyle hacks you might want to experiment with to up you creative game whether you work in an office or from home or from a coffee shop.   Full shownotes here >>

Let's start with Carl Jung, grandaddy of Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He's responsible for much of this series, because of his theories on psychological types. He introduced three areas or preferences, each of which are dichotomies: as in there are two ends of a pole, and your preference lies somewhere along that pole. Introversion or extraversion are one area, sensing or intuition is another, and thinking or feeling is the third - and the one I'm going to dive into today.  

The concept of doing what you love and following your passion has gotten a bit of a bad rap in recent years, and I guess before I launch into this episode I should probably address that side of the fence first. Cal Newport would be the first person I think of touting the idea that doing what you love is in fact, overrated. In his book, So Good They Can't Ignore You, he suggests the problem is that we don't have much evidence that this is how passion works. “Follow your passion” assumes: a) you have preexisting passion, and b) if you match this passion to your job, then you'll enjoy that job. What I'd like to do in this episode of the Self Knowledge mini-series, is help you get closer to finding your passion, whether it's making more time for one you already have or finding a new one altogether and cultivating that.   Download your free accompanying workbook here >>

Not exactly a topic I've talked much about or even mentioned in the Creative Introvert podcast so far. May be something to do with my INTJ android-like personality, but really I have no excuse. We know that even the hardiest Thinking types need a little tender lovin' care - whether it's from a partner, or in the simple friendship of an old pal. Or y'know, from your pet gecko. Whatever your source of love is, isn't the topic of today's show. what I want to talk about is the way we prefer to receive and to give love: also known as our love language. This is a concept coined by Gary Chapman, author of the book The 5 Love Languages amongst others: your love language can be identified by asking yourself: what makes you feel loved? What do you desire above all else from others? Or on the flip side, what hurts you, or makes you feel unloved? It can also be seen in how we express our love and appreciation to others. The importance of understanding our own lore language as well as that of those around us is really really important, may be the most important in this Self-Knowledge series. After all, if you can't communicate your love and appreciation to someone else or receive it from them because you're speaking two different languages, it's going to have a pretty detrimental effect on the relationship.

Already I know this is going to me one of my favourite episodes in this self-knowledge series. The way we experiences the world is… kind of everything. From the moment we're pushed or pulled out of our mum's baby-maker, we're dealing with sensory information and how we respond to that is amazingly individual. Even from those early years, we start exhibiting clear signs that some of us are experiencing the world in very different ways. This depends on both how we're wired neurologically and biochemically, as well as what particular environment we're being raised in. More on determining factors later, but for now I want to talk about the different categories psychologists and smart people in lab coats have given us to describe how we might experience the world around us. In every case, I'm willing to bet there is a sliding scale, just like introversion and extroversion, someone can be at the very end of the scale, or somewhere closer to the middle. Links mentioned: Are you an Intuitive or a Sensing Type? Myers Briggs Type Indicator Are you a HSP? Are you a HSS? Can you be a HSP AND a HSS?

I remember clearly being in school and being taught about learning styles. The teacher went through the model taught to her, which boiled down to auditory, visual or kinaesthetic. Auditory being people who learn best by hearing something, Visual best by seeing or reading something, Kinaesthetic best by doing something. It made sense to me that I must be a Visual learner, given that I was the designated class cartoonist, at least when there was a Rugrats character to draw. Later, I learned that this was just one of many (supposedly there are around 70) models to describe our preferred learning style. It's also possible - in fact very likely- you have a mixture of styles. Some may be best used in certain circumstances. For example, learning how to put an Ikea wardrobe together requires different processing than learning a language. Plus, you can develop or change your preferences over time: in fact 1 did this through listening to podcasts. Now, I process audio - with or without accompanying images - way better than I did at school. I still think it's useful to explore learning styles, and not just the ones you think you have a preference over. It's useful not just to help you learn stuff more effectively, but to communicate better with others, When you know what style someone else prefers, you can accommodate them. It's something I try to take into account in my online courses, as well as when I'm coaching someone or consulting with a client. If I pickup that they're a visual/spatial learner, I scribble down images to represent my ideas, or use visual analogies to give from to my sometimes vague and floaty concepts. Or if they're kinaesthetic I try to slow my speech a bit. This is another weird factoid: apparently kinaesthetic types speak slower. There are 7 styles that I like to take into account now, which gives a slightly more detailed range of preferences than I was taught at school. Visual - with pictures Auditory - prefer using sound Verbal - with speech & writing Kinaesthetic - doing with your body, touch Mathematic - using logic, numbers, systems Social - in groups Solitary - alone I dig deeper into these learning styles in today's episode, and what knowing your learning style might mean for you.

The point of this mini-series is, quite simply to help you discover more about... you. Self-knowledge is arguably the most critical catalyst in personal development : how you manage your energy, how you interact with others, where your strengths lie... Not to mention a key player in business success. When you know yourself, you can make decisions more effectively, have greater clarity on where you want to go, what you want to be doing, and how you do it best: when you're at your most creative.
