This is a new conversation but certainly a continuation of the previous Reform ABA show where we asked the guests to detail the movement's practices that ensure various cultures were taken into account. There is such a need to consider a viewpoint beyond whiteness, but that hasn't been given much space in the larger movement. This conversation is past due, and we are grateful to our guests for being willing to do this show with us.

On this show we are joined by Joy Johnson and Ajo Johnson. We have a very candid conversation about intersectionality, specifically regarding race in the ABA Reform movement and the role of white supremacy within the larger culture of ABA.

The goal of this show is to implore the ABA reform movement and even at times the Anti-ABA movement to consider intersectionality, as well as the role of racism and white privilege in their conceptualizations. The movement is and continues to center whiteness. And while we stand firm on reforming ABA, we must be steadfast in tacting any form of oppression, which is apparent in the movement.

We welcome continued discourse around this topic and would be more than happy to host additional voices on our platform. 


We also launched our community platform last week. Did you check out episode 32?! If not, be sure to give it a listen.

Disclaimer:
We had quite a few tech issues so please bare with the choppiness of the conversation.
Ajo joins us further into the conversation with congratulations in order(listen to find out!)
