Unfurling and Transforming White Shame Part 1 with Alex Marterre Artwork

White Noise Collective Podcast

White Noise Collective is a volunteer anti-racist feminist collective. Since 2010, we have offered spaces for deep reflection, dialogue and political education to amplify racial justice action in our movements and our lives. Our work focuses on the patterns of interaction between white racial privilege and gender marginalization. Our core collective is made up of white trans nonbinary folks and cis women dedicated to growing movements for collective liberation. We are located in and recording this podcast on Chochenyo Ohlone land in Oakland, CA. You can go to conspireforchange.org to learn more. In this time of transformation, this podcast shares the voices of long-time movement builders for racial justice, with a focus on the roles and possibilities of white people in solidarity. We welcome you to join us in this experiment as we practice growing our width to hold complexity, deepening our strategy, and honoring legacies of resistance. Thank you for joining us!

Unfurling and Transforming White Shame Part 1 with Alex Marterre

November 08, 2021 • Jay • Season 1 • Episode 3

In this episode, we have the joy of interviewing long time White Noise Collective member, healer and organizer Alex Marterre. We explore tactics and stories to alchemize white shame for the sake of fortifying movements for racial justice. This is a conversion between all three of us, informed by years of relationship and organizing, about patterns of white shame, alongside tools to support moving through it towards collective liberation. There was a lot to say and a lot more to unpack. This will be a Part 1 of likely an additional interview with Alex.
