In this episode of the Denizen podcast, host Jenny Stefanotti and activist Julia Rhodes Davis delve into the concept of 'white work,' which goes beyond confronting and dismantling racialized identities. They discuss the importance of understanding personal legacy, taking accountability for ancestors' actions, and taking actions individually to repair past harms. They also discuss the inner, interpersonal, and cultural aspects of this work. Julia emphasizes the importance of ongoing practice within a community setting. 00:00 Introduction to Solidarity and Whiteness01:22 Meet Julia Rhodes Davis01:34 Exploring White Work02:13 Putting White Work within the Denizen Inquiry02:32 Julia's Background and Evolution05:25 Understanding Racialized Capitalism07:51 Personal Stories and Ancestral Context11:30 The Inner Work of Racial Justice25:42 Misguided White Work and Diversity32:17 White Work as a Lifelong Practice33:17 Understanding Shame and Discomfort in Anti-Racism Work34:57 Circles of Practice: Community and Storytelling38:36 Depersonalizing and Understanding Racial Conditioning46:41 The Role of Inner Work in Anti-Racism48:28 Exploring Power Dynamics in Relationships51:18 Rupture and Repair in Relationships57:12 Building Solidarity Against Fascism59:40 Closing Remarks and Community Engagement Resources:Julia's website and writings: https://www.jrdavis.me/White Supremacy Culture - Still Here, Tema Okun
