Liberating Race

Race isn’t real but racism has real-world consequences. We can’t realize our fullest human potential in a broken world. Our lives are interconnected and our collective trauma requires collective solutions. It’s time to heal the conditions, the traumas, and the systems of racism in order to reach our highest selves. Our show talks to the teachers, thinkers, healers and evolutionaries who are inviting us all to become the architects of the process of racial healing. Hosts Aliah MaJon, Joy Donnell, and Nick Mattos guide listeners into the heart of why our divides exist and how we can begin to build a restorative culture.“This podcast is an invitation to all those who are willing to take this journey and be architects of the process of racial healing. Evolution is a stretch, but our convictions matter.” — Aliah MaJon
