Vangile Makwakwa takes us on her journey growing up under South African Apartheid, watching it fall, and then navigating institutionalized white supremacy in the post-Apartheid era. She opens up about the extent of racial trauma she experienced when working at Stellenbosch University and how it drove her leave South Africa and travel the world.   Vangile then talks about a pivotal transitionary moment in Trinidad and Tobago that inspired her to do an MBA, become a digital nomad, and teach about healing ancestral money trauma. She talks about the Shamanic traditions of her family in South Africa and offers a critique of the cultural appropriation that is often marketed to white Westerners under the guise of ‘new age spirituality.’ Vangile then explains the way systemic oppression relates to ancestral money trauma, shares her personal journey navigating through it, and explains how she now helps other women of color do the same. She also talks about the power dynamics of nomading on a South African passport, and shares her strategy for reducing her encounters with anti-Blackness around the world. Finally, Vangile reflects on what travel means to her. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
