You’re My Second Asian Friend
In this episode, Petra and I dive deep into how developing our friendship and building trust led to some beautiful conversations around race and allyship.
Petra Vega (She/ Her/ Ella) is a Queer, Black Puerto Rican from a tiny town in Upstate, NY who after years of being told she should be seen and not heard at home and in the world, decided to reclaim her voice. After learning about the multi-layered systems of oppression that were operating within and outside of her, Petra began doing the inner and outer work of questioning, healing and disrupting. As the Founder of Create More Possibilities, LLC, Petra helps marginalized nonprofit leaders in transforming the self-doubt that is getting in the way of them leading in a way that feels good for them and their team. As a Liberatory Leadership Coach, Emergent Strategist, Facilitator, and Radical Social Worker, Petra weaves an anti-oppression approach, trauma and healing tools, with playful possibility to support marginalized folx in leading from a place of liberation, not perfection.
