How To Dismantle Colonial Capitalism With Rosemary J. Jolly

Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration

The negative impact of colonial capitalism continues to be felt and experienced today, and it still hinders equity from being achieved in many parts of the world. Author and activist Rosemary J. Jolly joins Corinna Bellizzi to discuss how to dismantle colonial capitalism in effluent communities right now. She shares valuable lessons from her works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence, and communicable diseases in poor communities in the global North and South. Rosemary also discusses what it takes to put an end to white privilege and racism, as well as the importance of living sustainably – both physically and emotionally.

About Guest:

Rosemary Jolly has lived in South Africa, Lesotho, Canada and the US. She works on the prevention of torture, gender-based violence and diseases such as HIV in poor communities in the global North and South. She has co-founded rape-crisis clinics and has a passion for most forms of wildlife, even though she has been charged by a rhino (who was, after all, only protecting her baby). She is currently interested in sustainability, not simply as an environmental strategy, but in terms of wellbeing. How can we stop not only extracting from the earth unsustainably, but also from each other? How do we protect humans, non-human animals and our environments from depletion, exhaustion and despair? What are the tools for this?
