S1E2: Facing Racism with a Brave + Broken Heart


Listen Later

Libby talks about the things that were helping her get through the first wave of the pandemic and the quarantine. This naturally evolved into a conversation about how sometimes when we are really grieving, we don’t always do the things we know to be helpful because our brains are processing trauma. She talks about how the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests have changed her, and about how she is approaching anti-racism work as wellbeing work. She ends with some readings from James Baldwin, Bryan Stevenson, and a call to action for every person listening, especially every white person, to bring forth their grief and their medicine to this movement so we can begin dismantling systemic racism in our society and in our culture.
