Kicking off our Harvard Graduate School of Education Takeover Series, this episode features Malaika Ogukwe, a multidisciplinary artist, healer and member of the Sounds of the Diaspora’s U.S. team. In conversation with Tumi, Malaika shares how she transforms grief into ritual, rhythm and ancestral practice through dance, music and community healing. Together they explore what it means to hold both grief and joy and how movement can become a portal to memory, connection and collective care.
