“Our Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams” a dream it is — Through education, many of us (and not so many), have had the opportunities to gain access to knowledge and understanding that our ancestors did not have the privilege of receiving due to slavery, history of racism and discrimination, genocides, civil and cultural wars. Because of them, we are here today; we are educators, doctors, lawyers, business owners, scientists, writers, billionaires, CEOs and so much more. Yet, we were never prepared for a world where we can see our successes as our own achievements nor accept them for what they can be.
They told us, “you have to be twice as good as them to get half of what they have”, but what they did not tell us is what this actually means, or how to feel when we do get what they have, but yet, still do not want us there. Everyone speaks of breaking generational curses and traumas that have created challenges and barriers for communication, love, acceptance and internal freedom, but no one ever really gave us the tools to unpack and understand what those trauma means to us and how it is deeply rooted in our communities,values, morals and understanding of life. More importantly, what we still lack or cannot see. This can show up in the form of insecurities, fears of failure, how we engage with others and so on. Through this workshop, we hope to turn our ancestors’ wildest dreams into stories of healing, community and understanding so we can build for our future legacies and lead by breaking the cycles of inter-generational traumas that have prevented us from contributing to generational success.
