In this episode, Alana recommends the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, as well as speaks into her process of letting it mirror her. 

Pointing out that often those at the center, or in the dominant caste, are led through healing journeys that can be hyper individualized, and the resiliency needed for collective healing, and decentering, can be hard to find, or to build.

She also references Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah's book Unsettling Truths - The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, as well as Resmaa Manekem's book My Grandmother's Hands, and The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.

The album Alana mentions, Sanctuary - Exploring the Healing Path, can be found on streaming platforms or at her gift economy store.
