E.97 - Creating Inclusive Communities with Kevin Patterson

E.97 - Creating Inclusive Communities with Kevin Patterson

In this episode I have a chance to chat with Kevin A. Patterson, author of Love's Not Colorblind, the foremost book on race and polyamory. Having been tagged in my interviews with Olivia, Kevin felt called to address my comment regarding my mindset of victims and victors.

I have a chance to explain my comment further, and Kevin helps me understand how viewing people by this binary idea is a value judgment based on how much we can endure, even though the problem isn't our strength--it's the social construct of white supremacy.

Kevin talks about how many people of color (including myself for most of my life) try to place themselves on equal footing with the white establishment and deny the white supremacy that exists, but how the reckoning comes for us all eventually (see Omarosa and the Trump administration).

He shares how friends have turned him into "the scary Black guy" when the need arose, and how easily his image could be turned based solely on how Black folx are viewed in this country.

Kevin and I have an amazing conversation chatting about creating inclusive communities, and he gives me some tips on fostering diversity on the podcast in upcoming seasons, and how you can do the same in your polyam circles!

Be sure to tune in and learn how you can create inclusive communities in your polyam world, too!
