Pause for Racial Justice #saytheirnames #podcastblackout

At a time when racism's effects on the US are on display, as they've been with the most recent slayings of unarmed Black men and women, it can be difficult to distill our feelings into words, but speaking out imperfectly is important and better than staying silent.

Thousands lives have ended too early due to issues of institutionalized racism. In an effort to catalyze both reflection and action, this episode will hopefully serve as a way to remember those we've lost and offer anti-racist resources and action ideas.

On Today’s Solo Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• Why we need to eradicate the toxin of racism from our society the same way work to remove toxins from our bodies
• The yin and yang aspects to the work of dismantling institutionalized racism
• How we can seek to align our qi with our values of equality, justice, and love.
