Episode 301 with the author of The Inner Work Of Racial Justice Rhonda MaGee.</p> <p>In these fraught and divisive times, our instincts often compel us to fight or flight. However, law professor and mindfulness teacher RHONDA MAGEE offers a different way to address racism in THE INNER WORK OF RACIAL JUSTICE: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness (TarcherPerigee; Trade Paperback; Publication Date: September 14, 2021).</p> <p>THE INNER WORK OF RACIAL JUSTICE demonstrates how the real work of racial justice starts with ourselves. Through the practice of mindfulness – becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations and assessing them in a nonjudgmental way – we can develop emotional resilience and the ability to combat unconscious biases. Self-awareness creates space for more thoughtful, less reactive interactions with people who have different perspectives and opinions. Through mindfulness and self-compassion, victims of injustice also develop the tools needed to work toward healing from the ongoing effects of systemic oppression.
