This week I’m speaking with Tovi Scruggs-Hussein about racial healing and how my own journey began in earnest with a shame-filled moment of her calling me in, back in 2020.

That moment and how Tovi met it and me, taught me how to work with shame in a way I never have before. It sent me on an ongoing path to be more forgiving of myself when I inevitably get things wrong. To grow my confidence in my ability to make an ongoing impact through radical self-love and acceptance. 

This conversation is not only about racial healing work that I believe to be some of the most important work of our time. It’s about a path to finding our voice along with our humanity.

In this episode On Racial Healing and Untethering from Shame, Tovi and I dive into:

  • The limitations of quick fixes for systemic racism and the need for ongoing self-reflection
  • How shame sabotages our ability to heal and use our voices
  • How the medicine of forgiveness and compassion grow our capacity to do hard healing work 
  • The therapeutic and healing nature of racial healing autobiographies, and how they can set people free and change their mindsets
