Decolonization. , in my opinion, means changing the way that we think in terms of accepting the norm, about how there are multiple ways to look at things, about who has the right to speak, about which structures of thought we regard as the (or one of the) truth(s), and to what we assign value and to what extent. Additionally, it is about unlearning beliefs about norms and truths, whereby acknowledging what we (do not yet) know or see is important.
