Reclaiming Humanity & Tenderness

Welcome to the cypher! Audio Nuggets is where you will find a symbiotic force; both the heaviness of the air to breathe, and the light of freedom of liberation. Where human consciousness is alive. Each voice has a moment to spotlight their IT; their shine; their journey; their truth; their gold. And through the tenderness of love, we will aggressively claim our voice and own our right to humanity. We are blessed and honored to be joined by Dr. Resmaa Menakem for this episode, Reclaiming Humanity Tenderness.Embodied provocateur, multiple-levels thinker, and structural paradigm shifter Resmaa Menakem, is an author, agent of change, therapist, and licensed clinical worker specializing in racialized trauma, communal healing, and cultural first aid based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As the originator and leading proponent of Somatic Abolitionism, an embodied anti racist practice for living and culture building, Resmaa is the founder of Justice Leadership Solutions and the Cultural Somatics Institute and is an educator and coach. Working at the intersections of anti-racism, communal healing, and embodied purpose, Resmaa Menakem is the challenging yet compassionate coach we all need in this time of racial reckoning and near-global dysregulation.We can't explain what you're about to listen to. Jump in with tenderness and love for the people. It is our role to tend to things. This is a time to reclaim the things we have been thinking are unclaimable. Because there's a little bit more room now. The cultivation of glue. The glue of peoplehood. To learn more about Resmaa and the Black Octopus Society, visit resmaa and Black Octopus Society.This show is part of the SafeCamp Audio podcast network.
