Revolutionizing Recovery: Carolyn Cajathro's Vision
“Recovery is about coming home to the self and so deeply, not just like this body and also like all of the intergenerational impact of decolonization.”
What if recovery wasn't just about personal healing but also about collective liberation? Carolyn Cajathro, a queer, non-binary Afro-Indigenous individual, believes that a decolonized, anti-oppression approach to recovery can transform lives and communities. In this episode of the BRN Podcast, Carolyn shares their journey of long-term recovery and the birth of 'Recovery for the Revolution'. Carolyn's unique perspective emphasizes the need to center non-white voices in recovery spaces, challenging the traditional frameworks dominated by whiteness.
They delve into the intergenerational impact of colonization and how understanding these layers can aid in true healing. Carolyn is not just talking the talk; they are actively creating spaces for this transformative work. From offering coaching and advising services to building a virtual community for storytelling, dancing, and movement, Carolyn is paving the way for a more inclusive recovery landscape.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on how decolonized recovery practices can bring us closer to ourselves and each other. If you're looking for fresh insights and practical ways to support diverse voices in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
