I am simply in love with today's episode. I got the chance to sit down with my dear friend Gabes Torres to talk about what part the Enneagram plays in our collective liberation as well as her life as a migrant woman of color living and studying in the United States. Here's more about Gabes: Gabes is a researcher, theologian, speaker, singer-songwriter, and psychotherapist in training. Her life’s work is to show how there’s nothing “post-” about postcolonialism, and that the effects of historical and oppressive conquest continue to manifest in the ideologies, cultures, languages, literature, human behaviors, inter- and intrapersonal relationships, and spiritual practices we have today.    Gabes is creating and sustaining efforts to decolonize the mind, body, spirit, and relationships through her work in psychotherapy, academia, music, poetry, speaking engagements, and other platforms for social activism.   You can learn more about Gabes on www.gabestorres.com, and you have the power to help her in continuin

Well, I thought I would get this out on time, because I recorded the intro several days in advance, but then I didn't, so that's funny. BUT the episode is still amazing!

Today on the podcast I sit down with Leanette Pokuwaah to talk about the ways in which our culture plays into our Enneagram types, as well we effective ways each of use can move to create more socially aware spaces by understanding our types. Here's more about Leanette: My name is Leanette Pokuwaah (Pronouns she/her). I am a justice seeker and my faith is ever so intertwined with the work I do. I am a writer, teacher, and coach. I want to share with you all a little bit about who I am and why this platform exists. As a first-generation Ghanaian woman, I wanted to be able to create and teach Enneagram content that sought to center the stories and voices of people of color and others that are traditionally placed at the margins.      The Enneagram is a powerful pathway toward spiritual growth and for personal and professional development. I have been able to write, teach and coach through an intersectional lens. My unique intersectional approach centering queer people of color is deeply transformative. The open
