Recently, there has been an influx of very big feelings landing in the comment sections of educators and content creators. While the goal of education, especially anti-racism education, is to feel as part of decolonizing and unlearning, there needs to be a place for everyone to sit those feelings, and from there, continue to work through them. Take a pause before commenting. And I am happy to share some steps to help with that along the way.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/portia-noir/support

The Midterms were 11/8/2022, and I had some thoughts to share about results. And as you can imagine, those thoughts garnered results all across the board.

Let's talk boundaries! In this episode, I dive into what a boundary is, why we set them, and how we set them. We also talk about what consequences for disrespected boundaries look like, and how boundaries weave into all aspects of your life. Boundaries are a door at which we allow people to share community with us and for us to share space with others. "Boundaries are the distance at which I can love myself and you simultaneously." - Prentiss Hemphill --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/portia-noir/support

Welcome back, sweet ones. In this episode, we dive into how we allow humanity to show up in our work in uplifting and protecting marginalized groups. And that (take a deep breath) starts with removing your ego. It starts with recognizing that your voice does not always need to be the loudest in the room, that it isn't always the most needed voice in the room, and that sometimes it just isn't needed at all. And that's okay!  Grab some water, your journal, and your listening ears. It's community building time.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/portia-noir/support

Hi, sweet ones. It's happened. I've found myself in podcast land. I'm excited to start, and share, this journey with you!  We are going to discover and uncover the many ways that boundaries, and the need for them, show up.
