Listen "Red, White, and Borrowed"
Episode Synopsis
Cultural appropriation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about power, policy, and political erasure. In Episode 4 of The Group Sessions, we break down how borrowed culture leads to real-world harm. From TikTok trends to Texas legislation, we unpack how dominant culture profits from marginalized expression while erasing the people behind it. We’ll talk about Christian nationalism, DEI rollbacks, and why emotional intelligence—not just IQ—is critical to navigating today’s political climate. If you’ve ever felt unseen in a world that loves your rhythm but silences your voice—this session is for you.—Robert Saint Michael, NLPCertified Mental Health Life CoachMaster NLP PractitionerExplore more at robertsaintmichael.comFollow on InstagramLike, share, and subscribe wherever you’re listening.Referenced in this episode:Texas Senate Bill 10 – Ten Commandments in Schools (Texas Tribune)Jesse Williams BET Awards Speech (2016)Daniel Goleman’s Work on Emotional Intelligence (Harvard Business Review)American Psychological Association on Emotional IntelligenceDEI Backlash Report – The Atlantic
