Looking Inward to Reach Out: A Journey into Empathy with Dulani

In this episode, Dulani and I explore how empathy begins with us – through self-reflection, understanding our own behaviours, and learning to respond with compassion rather than criticism. We talk about the importance of making an effort to see where others are coming from, even when we’re not on the same page, and how reflection, forgiveness, and discernment can transform our relationships. Together, we unpack the difference between observation and interpretation, the role of judgement, and the power of choosing when to intervene. As feminist brown aunties ourselves, we remind each other that empathy is not just kindness – it is strength, perspective, and resilience.

Remember, in a world where discord echoes loudly, let empathy be our pluriversal language!
