We interrupted our usual scheduled Office Hours for a live TuneUp with Moraya Seeger DeGeare, a licensed marriage counselor in NY and MN, certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Moraya and Katie (owner of Tin Shingle) live in Beacon, NY, and Moraya is one of the thought leader/guides that Katie has been following since the protests started in May.
Moraya is the granddaughter of Pete and Toshi Seeger who were leaders in the effort to bring about environmental change in the Hudson Valley region of New York. She grew up in a protest environment.
Moraya had put out a question to her Twitter following: "So I'm curious, do we unfollow all the influencers/food/mombloggers who are not pausing scheduled posts to acknowledge the domestic terrorism that happened this week? Or are we just forever side eyeing them with BIG trust issue energy?"
We reposted her question to Tin Shingle's Instagram, which prompted another question: does a business who is Black or Muslim or other races need to put up a statement right now? Would that further insight discomfort in their places of business? Do white-owned businesses have a special responsibility to put up a statement right now? Or open up to include further in their branding?
Which prompted more questions, like how should a business handle the insurrection, even if you did like some of the policies of the 45th president? Or if you are afraid of isolating or losing customers?
Moraya agreed to be our guest for for this TuneUp to answer this question, and more. As a person of mixed race, she has a Black perspective that she is contributing to this national conversation. Being that she is a relationship therapist, she knows how to dialogue from a vulnerable place. She tells Tin Shingle: "I thrive on deep vulnerability. Ask me any question in any way, it's OK to just roll with it and muddle through."
