Episode 288: ENCORE Episode | Storytelling for Structural Change with Esther Armah

Greetings Glocal Citizens!

This week we continure to reflect on GlocalCitizens@5 and we’re flashing back to our Womens' Herstory series in March 2021. Ghana-based, London-born international award-winning journalist, a playwright, a global public speaker Esther Armah – a self-described ‘global black chick’ – has lived, worked, loved, created across three cities in three countries on three continents – London, New York, and Accra. She is the Executive Director of the Esther Armah Institute of Emotional Justice and she leads a global team in Ghana, Chicago and London. Her most applauded work, which she describes as “more of a purpose than a profession” is centred on the concept of EMOTIONAL JUSTICE.

Pubilshed in 2022, her groundbreaking book Emotional Justice: A Roadmap for Racial Healing argues that the crucial missing piece to racial healing and sustainable equity is emotional justice—a new racial healing language to help us do our emotional work. She continues to build on this apparatus with complementary storytelling expressed via her breadth of creative media expertise. As part of EAIEJ’s third annual September event HEALING HARM | HEEDING HISTORY, themed WELLNESS in the face of WARFARE she’ll be hosting a screening and dialogue for her short film '...goodbye to the EMOTIONAL MAMMY' later this week.
