My Journey to Self-Decolonization: Emancipatory Pedagogy & Freedom Dreaming in Education
This presentation invites a profound exploration of identity and self-discovery in the context of colonial histories and their pervasive impact on personal and collective consciousness. As I embark on a journey into self-knowing, I grapple with the question that confront the very essence of my being. How have the narratives shaped by colonization and colonial logic have impacted, influenced, disrupted, stolen, and murdered my understanding of self, belonging, and heritage? This question allows us to examine the ways in which colonization has not only shaped external perceptions but has also infiltrated our internal narratives, affecting our self-worth, identity, and aspirations. This introspective inquiry is what I regard as self-emancipatory work for me to show up as my whole self.
