Dive into an inspiring journey of healing, empathy, and community with Myisha T. Hill. Discover how embracing sobriety—not just from substances but from systemic oppression and self-criticism—opens new pathways to personal growth and collective liberation.
Explore the transformative insights of author, speaker, and possibilitarian Myisha T. Hill on empathy, healing, and community building. Myisha's books, "Check Your Privilege" and "Heal Your Way Forward," provide valuable frameworks for personal and communal growth and healing. In this episode, Myisha discusses her approach to "sobriety" from oppressive systems, highlighting the profound impact of African proverbs such as Umbuntu and Sankofa on her work. Through personal stories and insightful discussions, she helps us learn how to model self-compassion and empathy for our children, foster community connections, and embrace the healing journey forward.
Myisha T Hill is a nationally recognized voice in healing justice and racial equity. As the curator of Heal Your Way Forward and Iwosan Collective, her work centers on the intersections of mental wellness, social healing, and community care. With Iwosan Collective, she expands that vision, bringing the medicine of water, compassion, and environmental connection to those who’ve historically been excluded from it.
