Full Description
Intergenerational and race-based experiences shape our sense of identity, culture, and capacity for life's everyday challenges. Where trauma is present, at any level of familial or cultural history, those senses and capacities are violated, and we hold these traumatic impacts in our bodies from generation to generation.
For many Black people, conventional self-care and healing practices, often based on Western perspectives, do not consider their lived experiences. This book presents an ancestrally affirming view of holistic health, rooted in creative traditions and practices found in the African diaspora. Through stories and arts-based experiences, readers are invited to connect with their bodies and their communities to address intergenerational and race-based trauma.
A call to action to build true community and work towards collective liberation.
