90 The Cursing of the Body and Racial Trauma

from The Place We Find Ourselves · host Jen Oyama Murphy and Adam Young

Jen Oyama Murphy shares a story she wrote for The Allender Center called "My Eyes." Evil often assaults us through the cursing of others. When a part of our body is cursed—especially during our growing up years—we tend to turn on ourselves. Wars with shame and self-contempt begin. In today's episode, Jen reflects on her experience of racial trauma directed at her eyes and how she has begun to heal.  Support the podcast
