A Shifting Lens represents the different emotional spaces I have inhabited, and the pieces of knowledge I have gained, over the past year as I have begun the work of dismantling the colonial structures that influence my worldview. This process has involved reading, listening, walking and talking, paying attention to my dreams, and learning from exceptional teachers, mentors and friends. These people and practices have helped me challenge my own narratives and recognize my complicity in colonial practices and ideologies.
