IG LIVE: Erasure, Blame & Responsibility

This episode is a little different than I've done before. It's the audio taken from an IG Live that I recorded (and it's on my IG feed) where I finally shared my feeling and response on another podcast where it was said that there were no Black ADHD coaches, and the apologies that came after this.  This is my response. There's an intro that explains the situation in more detail followed by the normal podcast intro, and then into the IG Live audio from there. Erasure is something that so many of us experience in our lives when our struggles are not seen and our pleas for help go ignored. For those of us from the most marginalised groups in society, we experience erasure on a near-daily basis. We've grown up with the messages that the things that are fundamental to who we are, are not worthy of being seen or acknowledged. Erasure ignores our struggles, our needs and our unique experiences in the world. It's harmful, violent and racist and we all need to do better in considering where our privilege allows us to erase the lived experiences of others. This podcast explores this not only in the scope of this podcast but also in my own life as well. I hope that we can learn something together.

Om Podcasten

Sandra is the writer behind @nd.narratives that was @theadhdgoodlife on Instagram, a page where she shares her experiences and insights from her late in life ADHD diagnosis and Autistic self-diagnosis as a Black femme and transracial adoptee. This podcast explores the unique experiences of neurodivergent people (particularly those who've been historically excluded from mainstream neurodivergent narratives), often considering intersectionality and social justice lenses while sharing tools and strategies to promote self-knowledge, self-acceptance, radical responsibility and self-love. Living in a society that wasn't made for neurodivergent brains in mind isn't easy, especially depending on the overlapping oppressions you must navigate. Sandra looks at ways that neurodivergent people can access their own inner knowing and lean into their differences so that they can access their strengths, manage their challenges and thrive along the way.
