Teach the Babies w/ Dr. David J. Johns

Processing Through Rage


Listen Later

Let’s be honest: this Holiday season doesn’t hit the same. This session holds space for processing all of the feelings washing over us.  Dr. Johns reflects on the origins of the pod in search of lessons to survive under legislated sub-humanization.  He processes out loud messages shared by ancestors like James Baldwin, who names the rage those of us who are relatively conscious are righteous in feeling and Fannie Lou Hamer, who reminds us that none of us are free unless and until all of us are free.  He also shares grounding books, including Michael Singer’s The Untethered Soul, Sonbufu Some’s The Spirit of Intimacy and Bayard Rustin’s FBI Files.  Toplines and takeaways include guarding your joy and owning your power; celebrating that we have nothing to lose but our chains (shout out to Assata); finding safety and security in community; and remaining focused on Black Facts, including we’re much closer to freedom than they want us to believe.
