This week we are joined by educator and community facilitator, Trevia Woods. Trevia supports people by building powerful healing practices and traditions without culturally or spiritually appropriating, and during this episode, she shares the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation - as well as the complexity of cultural exchange, describes some of the most common cultural appropriations we encounter in our day-to-day (and the role we play in it), the devastating impact that appropriating different cultures has on marginalized communities, and practical tips for preventing cultural appropriation and respectfully participating in cultural appreciation.
