Back to EpisodesBonus: The Enneagram for Liberation with Chichi Agorom
Description
Today's bonus episode of Everything Belongs features hosts Mike Petrow, Carmen Acevedo Butcher, and Drew Jackson in conversation with Chichi Agorom, author of The Enneagram for Black Liberation: Return to Who You Are Beneath the Armor You Carry.
Listen in to explore Chichi’s key insights:
- Our Enneagram type can be like a suit of armor: protective but sometimes restrictive.
- She defines vulnerability as a willingness to be impacted without controlling the outcome.
- Her three-part framework of power: power over, power within, and power with.
- Why collective, shared power matters, especially in moments of cultural upheaval.
- The distinction between information, knowledge, and embodied wisdom.
Chichi closes by reflecting on how each Enneagram type carries its own “superpower” that can serve the collective when held with awareness rather than defensiveness.
Today's episode asks us each: Can we see healing not as a solo pursuit, but as a collective effort moving us towards mutual liberation?
