On this episode of #WeNeedToTalk, Malynda chats facilitator, public speaker, and touch specialist, Aaron Johnson. They discuss his important work of healing trauma in the Black community and practices his closeness as a way to break down barriers between people. As co-founder of both Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action, Aaron takes the time to hold the stories of black people around homophobia, transphobia, internalized racism, and those that are Chronically UnderTouched. Because the purchasing, selling, lynching, and commoditization of the sexual energy of black bodies is a part of historical and present American culture, the long term impact of those trauma stories should be acknowledged and held as a map for our collective healing. A beautiful, touching and informative conversation.
