In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Self-Aware& F**ked Up, host Sandtrice D. Russell (aka Tree the LPC) sits down with queer clinical psychologist, author, and anti-racism leader Dr. Nathalie Edmond to unpack the complexities of race, identity, and healing in asystemically racist society.
Together, they dive into Dr. Edmond’s groundbreaking book Mindful Race Talk, discussing how mindfulness can be a transformative tool in navigating race-based trauma, holding space for difficult conversations, and reclaiming joy and self-worth in marginalized communities.
Tree gets vulnerable about growing up Black in ruralGeorgia, while Dr. Edmond shares her experience as a first-generation Haitian American navigating both cultural pride and the trauma of assimilation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to decolonize their mind, confrontinternalized oppression, and show up more intentionally in their own liberation journey.
