This is powerful Sam. From the moment we met a few years ago I have been impressed by your ability to tell your story with vulnerable authenticity, but this is getting deeper and you are a messenger for regaining our humanity. Still love you Sam. Mart x

"Gone are the days of being an angry activist" LOVE this. I relate to this so much. Now more than ever we need to have open and empathetic conversations. Only then will we see the difference between genuine hate and honest mistakes.

Although off topic - one of the best outfits I've ever seen. You seem like a really humble person, it was really refreshing to hear your story, the mistakes you've made and reiterated just how important it is for us all to educate ourselves. Thank you Samantha.

I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like for you during your burnout - having those realizations would have been so harrowing. You're an amazing speaker Samantha, I believe your story could really help a lot of people who are out of touch and unaware gain a different perspective. You're a beautiful soul, thank you!

Brilliant Sam! You are opening hearts and minds, you are an example of vulnerability being strength and showing the door to reassessing what you think you know, so that we can all look at ourselves in a fresh way. Well done. Big love for raising the vibration.

[@tibogoth]

There are a lot of hard to swallow pills going around at the moment... The fact that we can all do it together while educating ourselves should make it easier though. If we can decolonize, we can actually move forward towards a more balanced society. Thank you Samantha, I've been inspired to educate myself more.

[@samanthamoyo1893]

With you all the way!! AND thank you so taking time to write and reflect. Power to you xxx

[@briannavantifcampen]

I've been reading a book called "Decolonizing Solidarity" and although written by a white woman, has given me so much more understanding and perspective. This talk however, has blown my mind a little, for all the good reasons. Samantha, you are a hero. Your passion and drive has reminded me of why I'm checking my privilege and trying to do better.

[@Obsworld287]

Clare Land is brilliant, I've used her book throughout my undergrad and now my masters.

[@souhirchouikha3878]

Brilliant Brilliant talk - heart and mind opening

[@Tleho]

Loved this ❤

[@florencem3397]

I don't know exactly how qualified Sam is to educate anyone on decolonization of the mind. The whole "don't go to burning man. Go to Africa" really didn't sit right with me. Going to Asia and Africa for soul searching and to "find themselves" is in my opinion the epitome of 20-something year old white hippies unreflected post-colonial behavior. Africa isn't exactly comparable to a festival and not a prop for your spiritual/social justice awakening. I do think she seems like a lovely person tho and she is certainly eloquent and very charismatic. As she said herself she hasn't studied this topic and maybe it could actually help to read up on some theory. Right now it seems to me that she is unintentionally conveying a message that is the opposite of decolonized thought

[@Death2capitalism0]

Decolonization must include abolishing capitalism

[@gypsyfreak7934]

How’d about no

[@grantstratton2239]

I'm not sure I get it. I mean, a lot of the advice in this is just generic good advice. "Get exercise, build a community, don't worry so much about money or fame. Be generous. Travel and experience different cultures." I grew up white and American and I don't feel like any of that is missing from my culture. I'm sorry she felt like she hit a "glass ceiling" but breaking in to business is hard for anyone if you aren't already rich or famous. Most new businesses fail. I've lived in a foreign country long enough to experience being treated differently (both as an oddity to discover and with resentment and with genuineness). I don't think that is unique to England. So... what was I supposed to learn about decolonization that I missed?

[@perfectplayingplaids]

No.

[@chrisskyway7000]

Spectacular use of buzzwords and euphemisms which are certain to mislead just the people you intend to mislead.

[@Boss-1964]

Is she reading her talk from her phone? Just saying, I mean that is talent keeping up to so much with a phone, wow.

[@richmrstonestone]

When your a hugely successful, international, promoter , within UK and beyond...but call a reversal of fortune " oppression" ??? Lol. Welcome to the blame game. What this lady experienced is called life, not " oppression" .

[@thankyoumrsg6590]

I am sorry says really nothing much about decolonization. Decolonization I'm afraid is hard talk of you still have a whole audience cheering you are not talking about decolonization. It has very deep roots and should not be taken lightly. The San ppl cannot tell you about colonisation really its the deep rural in Zim that has the real stories. I suggest to get tips from the guy who die the African Apocalypse. Decolonization takes you facing the real stories about what happened and them heal together. You tried I guess
