This piece explores a different perspective on decolonial love, reflecting on the ways that knowledge systems can be shaped by our relationships. Knowledge is not given. It is earned when appropriate. Teachings are given to us when we are ready to receive this information. So, this piece explores concepts of learning from a cultural lens by demonstrating that no learning can happen in isolation. We cannot see the world clearly until we are in connection with others. Learning does not happen in isolation, but through connection. At its core, no learning can happen without relationships with others. So when we talk about re-learning to love, we must not just reflect, but look outwards for answers.
