Racial healing is a process that can benefit all people because, regardless of background, we are all living in and affected by the same racialized world.
In this episode, Racial Healing Champion, Rev. Dr. Aliah K. MaJon holds a safe space for me to ask, what I’ve dubbed, “Ignorant White Woman” questions.
She is a compassionate educator with a resume that includes being the Chief Inclusion Officer (CIO) for The Shift Network and the founder of the Next 50 Years Project where she periodically teaches Cultural Intelligence and Social-Emotional Learning to Educators. Much of her work is informed by firsthand experience growing up in the inner city of Detroit and losing her only child to suicide.
We have an honest talk about racism and how we can be hopeful that it can be healed through conscious action.
