September 20, 2022 • YEG Wellness Collective • Season 1 • Episode 40

Your authentic queens are back. In this episode, B, Jo, and Linda talk about the complicated feelings around the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Jo, Linda, and B acknowledge that depending on your perception of the crown, the British Empire, and the late Queen herself.

Linda, B, and Jo acknowledge that the late Queen was someone's mother, grandma and auntie, but she was also a person with a lot of power, and could not affect change. We discussed the Queen's inability to exercise her power, and how her silence caused pain for millions of people around the world through colonialism and imperialism.

B, Linda, and Jo are not bashing the queen herself- we are acknowledging the complication surrounding her death for different people around the world. Some people are mourning and are allowed to mourn her death and Reign, and some people are triggered by her death due to what her Reign did to them and their countries. We hope you enjoy this episode.
