AI is everywhere these days. At Decolonize and Rize we’ve grappled with how or if we should use AI. We know the allure and usefulness of AI and we’re also mindful of the vast amounts of ethical concerns with it. Join us as we unpack the complexities, explore things to be aware of, and discuss how to use this tool in a relational way.

Can profits coexist alongside a decolonial approach to business?

Can we actually decolonize our businesses while still interacting in the broader "business world" which is heavily rooted in colonialism and capitalism?

These are two questions we address from recent workshops we held. There is of course no one single answer to these questions; instead, we look at various perspectives and the multiple layers that exist within them.

Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and tune in. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this as well!

At Decolonize and Rize we're big on decolonizing business, but what does that look like in reality?

What can settler owned businesses do to increase their social impact, do business in a good way and contribute to land back? Where or how does one start?

Meet Sarah - a serial entrepreneur, coach and consultant. In her words: “When we are actively working to improve a situation, we are choosing change. That path requires tenacity, a growth-mindset and a sh*t ton of courage. It will be messy. Let it be messy.”

Hear how Sarah operates in the messy and commits to change to benefit all our relations.

Cancel Culture isn't just a buzz word; it has real world implications and ripple effects on our society and communities. Although cancel and call-out culture was intended to hold folks accountable when harm is done – what if it actually exasperates harm and upholds a colonized mentality?

Join us for this conversation with Decolonize and Rize and our guest Asha Frost to discuss all things cancel culture, how it's connected to colonial approaches to “justice” and how we can use lateral kindness and other decolonized methods to hold ourselves and others accountable in order to build and strengthen communities, instead of tearing them down.

Asha Frost is an Indigenous Medicine Woman, and the international best-selling author of You are the Medicine and The Sacred Medicine Oracle. She has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation as a healer, homeopath and ceremonial guide and has become a prominent speaker in the field of Indigenous healing, garnering recognition on both local and international platforms. Asha holds membership at Chippewas of Nawash First Nation and is a mama of two boys with whom she walks gently upon the earth. She loves sharing her Medicine in powerful ways through ceremonies, teachings, and speaking events. Through this work, she loves seeing people reclaim their roots, find their healing wisdom, and rise into their power.

At Decolonize and Rize, one of our values that grounds and guides our work is Embodiment. But what exactly does that mean? Colonization has created disconnection—disconnection to self, others, and the land .Part of the decolonizing journey involves reestablishing those connections. Join us as we talk about what it means and what it feels like to embody your truth, embody liberation, and embody the decolonial journey.

About our guest, Lee Mae Spence: Lee Mae Spence is an Ininew First Nations, Metis and mixed settler woman from Treaty 5 Territory in northern Manitoba, Canada. As the founder of Embodied Resurgence, she is on a mission to transmute apathy to liberation, because it’s our right. In the last 10 years, she has supported individuals and organizations to have meaningful and transformative conversations on the intersections of colonialism, intergenerational trauma, ancestral reclamation and collective wholistic wellbeing. And accountability begins with ourselves.

Welcome to RIZE Up, a podcast where we chat about all things decolonizing. Our first episode is a solo episode with Vanessa and Ariana where we chat about critical thinking: what is it, and why is it necessary in order to disrupt the status quo? Let's talk about it!

We also answer a question we received in a past workshop: "Is there a universal definition for what decolonization actually means?"

Grab some tea, pop in your headphones, and let's have a chat.
