Are there things I can't understand? Are there things I do, that harm other people without me realising it? Why is listening the most powerful weapon against ignorance? This episode is important. Through Arielle and her work I learned so much about the hidden struggles of women, especially women of color and how my behaviour as  a white priviledged man can cause even more suffering. She explains me some historical events of oppression that still have aftereffects on the way we treat each other today, she answers all my naive questions and gives advice what I can do to develop awareness for these issues, starting small in my own home and community.  Arielle Cottingham is a performance artist, poet, author, activist. She won the Australian Poetry Slam Championship 2016 and had an incredible journey since. She lives and performs in Berlin, Germany right now.  Check out Arielle Cottingham's work on Social Media: FB - Arielle Cottingham  https://www.facebook.com/ariellecottinghampoetry Twitter - @whosthatdancing https://twitter.com/whosthatdancing Or do a YouTube search for a lot of awesome content!
