Decolonizing Power: Culture, Identity, and Healing in M/s
Educators:
Topic: Power Exchange, Race, Revolutionary Kink (theme)
Type: Lecture/Presentation
This class explores what it means to engage in Master/slave dynamics while actively unpacking the impacts of colonization, generational trauma, and cultural identity. Centered in the lived experience of a BIPOC woman, we will examine how internalized beliefs, survival patterns, and inherited histories shape our understanding of authority, devotion, and consent. Special attention is given to navigating dynamics where the “Master” exists within dominant Western frameworks, and how cultural dissonance can surface in power exchange. This space invites participants to reflect, unlearn, and rebuild dynamics rooted in intention, autonomy, and cultural reclamation.
