Sasha is an ancestral healing practitioner and a death doula who is committed to collective liberation and dismantling supremacy culture. Those are a lot of big concepts, and we get into all of it in our conversation. When it comes to Palestine, Sasha is a breath of fresh air amidst a largely silent community of “healers,” and her sacred rage is palpable and contagious. 

We talk about why ignorance is a prison — not bliss, the problem with the intellectualization of suffering, and the energy of colonization. As honest as we are about our fears and disappointments, Sasha’s perspective and teachings always leave me feeling empowered and hopeful. 

Please enjoy the fearless — Sasha.
