Deepen Your Understanding of Decolonisation | Samantha Moyo | TEDxBrighton 

This is powerful Sam. From the moment we met a few years ago I have been impressed by your ability to tell your story with vulnerable authenticity, but this is getting deeper and you are a messenger for regaining our humanity. Still love you Sam. Mart x

Done in Feb wonder if she could imagine what was ahead! good talk real talk.

"Gone are the days of being an angry activist" LOVE this. I relate to this so much. Now more than ever we need to have open and empathetic conversations. Only then will we see the difference between genuine hate and honest mistakes.

Sorry I am an old guy so I do not know who this person is but I love her. She touched my heart with her story. I can always use a good reminder to be humble. Thank you.

If we aren't talking and learning we aren't growing. Top Talk!!!

Knowing our roots, paying respect to our elders and being guided by our spirit. We all need some of that right now. Your talk couldn't be anymore timely.

What a way to wake up, far out, that would have been so horrible - but look at the growth! incredible, what an absolute legend.

absolutely brilliant. had this sent to me by a friend. we are doing our best to educate ourselves and figure out how to help and move forward. this talk couldn't be anymore timely. thank you Sam

wow. she went through quite the ride to get where she is. talk about soul searching - she is doing so many people proud. i hope she's the one that gets to throw the huge party once every one has finally united

Thank u so much for ur honesty Samantha. The truths u speak throughout this talk are ones that will help ppl gain some perspective. U r a really good soul.

Brilliant Sam! You are opening hearts and minds, you are an example of vulnerability being strength and showing the door to reassessing what you think you know, so that we can all look at ourselves in a fresh way. Well done. Big love for raising the vibration.

She has a soft soul for someone who has gone through so much.

Although off topic - one of the best outfits I've ever seen. You seem like a really humble person, it was really refreshing to hear your story, the mistakes you've made and reiterated just how important it is for us all to educate ourselves. Thank you Samantha.

Easily one of the most apt and spot on ted talks I've seen in a long while. What a rad human being and her story is going to make such a difference!

She is electric! What an amazing human! Loved this talk, loved her story, an absolute inspiration she is! Amazing

I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like for you during your burnout - having those realizations would have been so harrowing. You're an amazing speaker Samantha, I believe your story could really help a lot of people who are out of touch and unaware gain a different perspective. You're a beautiful soul, thank you!

What a wild journey this one has been on! Her transparency makes it so easy to see the big picture here. Loved this talk!

from party to politics! love this! love her! she's got such spunk!

I'm embarrassed to say I have no knowledge in this space and what a delight this is to listen to. Thanks Samantha, I know understand more!

I've been reading a book called "Decolonizing Solidarity" and although written by a white woman, has given me so much more understanding and perspective. This talk however, has blown my mind a little, for all the good reasons. Samantha, you are a hero. Your passion and drive has reminded me of why I'm checking my privilege and trying to do better.

There are a lot of hard to swallow pills going around at the moment... The fact that we can all do it together while educating ourselves should make it easier though. If we can decolonize, we can actually move forward towards a more balanced society. Thank you Samantha, I've been inspired to educate myself more.

Thank you, dear Samantha

You make me smile going from party to politics! Love your passion.

this is rad. her story is the best. defs made me think about things differently.

Now this is energy on fire. Love this talk.

Man I am not even allowed to hashtag B-L-M it blocks me and doesn't show. Keep going Samantha YOUR FIGHT IS ALL OUR FIGHT.

wow, absolutely in awe of her. what a story, what a journey!

Loved this ❤

Brilliant Brilliant talk - heart and mind opening

All people have the right to nationality and to realize their independence as a nation. Peace and Love from Magreb Al Aqsa Morocco 🇲🇦. Nationality and unity in uplifting fallen humanity

De-humbling, de-armouring, losing our sense of control - YES!!!!

I don't know exactly how qualified Sam is to educate anyone on decolonization of the mind. The whole "don't go to burning man. Go to Africa" really didn't sit right with me. Going to Asia and Africa for soul searching and to "find themselves" is in my opinion the epitome of 20-something year old white hippies unreflected post-colonial behavior. Africa isn't exactly comparable to a festival and not a prop for your spiritual/social justice awakening. I do think she seems like a lovely person tho and she is certainly eloquent and very charismatic. As she said herself she hasn't studied this topic and maybe it could actually help to read up on some theory. Right now it seems to me that she is unintentionally conveying a message that is the opposite of decolonized thought

Lawyers write laws specifically not to be understood by anyone but lawyers.

Absolute rebel and amazing outcomes.

The fight for equality begins inside each of us, want to start! Watch this talk - BRAVO Samantha Bravo!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I just wonder when you mention Yoga or Ayahuasca is from the Western Point of view and understanding of it or from OUR understanding and experience...as you said Native people are all around the world.

The sheer stupidity of saying 'live without hierarchy' in one breath and then talk about many wives and children under men the next!

Is she reading her talk from her phone? Just saying, I mean that is talent keeping up to so much with a phone, wow.

I'm not sure I get it. I mean, a lot of the advice in this is just generic good advice. "Get exercise, build a community, don't worry so much about money or fame. Be generous. Travel and experience different cultures." I grew up white and American and I don't feel like any of that is missing from my culture. I'm sorry she felt like she hit a "glass ceiling" but breaking in to business is hard for anyone if you aren't already rich or famous. Most new businesses fail. I've lived in a foreign country long enough to experience being treated differently (both as an oddity to discover and with resentment and with genuineness). I don't think that is unique to England. So... what was I supposed to learn about decolonization that I missed?

the liberal decolonial movement grows everyday

Decolonization must include abolishing capitalism

Yay first

Spectacular use of buzzwords and euphemisms which are certain to mislead just the people you intend to mislead.

No.

I am sorry says really nothing much about decolonization. Decolonization I'm afraid is hard talk of you still have a whole audience cheering you are not talking about decolonization. It has very deep roots and should not be taken lightly. The San ppl cannot tell you about colonisation really its the deep rural in Zim that has the real stories. I suggest to get tips from the guy who die the African Apocalypse. Decolonization takes you facing the real stories about what happened and them heal together. You tried I guess

When your a hugely successful, international, promoter , within UK and beyond...but call a reversal of fortune " oppression" ??? Lol. Welcome to the blame game. What this lady experienced is called life, not " oppression" .

This is just nationalism with a new agey veneer

🤮
