Shaka Senghor: Forming a New Narrative

This week in The Vault, Dr. Judith Joseph welcomes Shaka Senghor to discuss scarcity trauma and the importance of emotions and vulnerability for men. Shaka brings not only his own story of the 19 years he spent incarcerated, but also the stories of other Black men he has witnessed while working in prison reform. He opens up about the critical practices that ground him – journaling and a steadfast curiosity – and offers insight into overcoming his scarcity mindset through having a spirit of gratitude and daily narrative checks. Shaka and Dr. Judith explore the complexities of starting anew, turning profound loss into unparalleled gain, and the importance of vulnerability.Follow ShakaWebsite: https://www.shakasenghor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shakasenghor/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialShakaSenghor/Sign up for my newsletter here: https://www.drjudithjoseph.com/newsletter-sign-up——Welcome to "The Vault with Dr. Judith," where we fearlessly explore the depths of mental health, relationships, parenting, and everything in between.
