Change of Perspective 4: White Saviorism – The Problem with "Saving" Others 🤍🌍

Show notes

In this episode of Change of Perspective, we take a closer look at white saviorism—when individuals from wealthier or Western countries position themselves as "saviors" of people from economically disadvantaged regions. What are the hidden power dynamics behind these actions? How can good intentions sometimes reinforce stereotypes, dependency, and inequality? We listen to critical voices and experiences from those directly impacted, questioning the true motivations behind certain forms of "help" and exploring why it’s important to recognize and dismantle these narratives. 🎧 Join us as we reflect on the impact of white saviorism and rethink what true support and respect mean.
