Book Description

Enhance your self-care and activate your inner resources. When talking about mindfulness, a lot of people avoid talking about race-despite these practices coming from the lands of Black and Brown people. This book is different: the author is Black and the message is Black. The purpose is to encourage spiritual consciousness, anti-racist awareness, and social change that benefits all people. Reading Black Meditation will teach you about Kemetic principles, visualization techniques, and methods for cultivating self-love and self-respect. Cultivate your inner greatness by using guided meditations and writing exercises. Because I am not the only Black Meditator out there, I also included 6 short interviews with some expert Black Meditators from my city and my circle: Feugang Donald, Brandon Dawson-Jarvis, Vonnette Forde, Jacqueline Powell, Astin L. Davis, and Claude Kamga. Learn about Black Meditation from a new perspective. Learn from an anti-racist perspective.

Book Description

Despite Black Americans being at high risk for negative mental health symptoms due to racism and other chronic stresses, disparities persist in the provision of mental health services to this population. This book addresses that gap in clinical practice by explicitly calling attention to the experience of race-based stress in the Black community. Johnson and Melton urge mental health practitioners to action in promoting societal understanding, affirmation, and appreciation of multiculturalism against the damaging effects of individual, institutional, and societal racism, prejudice, and all forms of oppression based on stereotyping and discrimination. Chapters include worksheets, vignettes, and case studies to provide a practical framework for implementing an effective, nonpathological approach to ameliorating the damaging effects of race-based trauma and stress. This book will give tools and strategies for mental health professionals to responsibly use scientific and professional knowledge to improve the condition of individuals, communities, and, by extension, society.

Book Description

Art Therapy for Social Justice seeks to open a conversation about the cultural turn in art therapy to explore the critical intersection of social change and social justice. By moving the practice of art therapy beyond standard individualized treatment models, the authors promote scholarship and dialogue that opens boundaries; they envision cross disciplinary approaches with a focus on intersectionality through the lens of black feminism, womanism, antiracism, queer theory, disability studies, and cultural theory. In particular, specific programs are highlighted that re-conceptualize art therapy practice away from a focus on pathology towards "models of caring" based on concepts of self-care, radical caring, hospitality, and restorative practice methodologies. Each chapter takes a unique perspective on the concept of "care" that is invested in wellbeing. The authors push the boundaries of what constitutes art in art therapy, re-conceptualizing notions of care and wellbeing as an ongoing process, emphasizing the importance of self-reflexivity, and reconsidering the power of language and art in trauma narratives.

Book Description

Have you ever wondered why certain groups of people are rarely the first choice for employment? Would you rather have someone of a different race provide you with services such as fixing your car, caring for your child or preparing your taxes? Is the only reason there is diversity in your office a direct result of affirmative action? Why I Won't Hire Black People looks at racial profiling in the workplace and presents justified reasons for the common practice. This book places the challenge of being marketable on the shoulders of the applicant rather than giving more fuel to systematic issues that include: a weak economy, globalization, the prison industrial complex or the quality of the public education system. Asa Leveaux, in a labor of love, presents individual process improvements for every Black person that has left an interview or encountered professional rejection without the quality feedback that is deserved. The passion that he has for imparting knowledge to all generations is made apparent with every life story and critique of those that don't understand the ways of the corporate world. The author has gained employment in various fields such as the United States military, Program Manager of a Fortune 500 company, a nightclub go go dancer, serial entrepreneur and factory worker. Why I Won't Hire Black People is a book that has been taken from real life experiences rather than a protected throne room of an ivory tower. This comprehensive narrative's intent is to educate those that not only are they an asset to organizations and customers alike but how to present themselves in a way that identifies their capabilities and demeanors in a positive, professional and proficient way.

A powerful and practical guide to help you navigate racism, challenge privilege, manage stress and trauma, and begin to heal. Healing from racism is a journey that often involves reliving trauma and experiencing feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety.

The Racial Healing Handbook offers practical tools to help you navigate daily and past experiences of racism, challenge internalized negative messages and privileges, and handle feelings of stress and shame. You’ll also learn to develop a profound racial consciousness and conscientiousness, and heal from grief and trauma. Most importantly, you’ll discover the building blocks to creating a community of healing in a world still filled with racial microaggressions and discrimination. This book is not just about ending racial harm—it is about racial liberation. This journey is one that we must take together. It promises the possibility of moving through this pain and grief to experience the hope, resilience, and freedom that helps you not only self-actualize, but also makes the world a better place.
