Part 3 Transforming Trauma with Amikaeyla Gaston
In Part 3 Osha and Amikaeyla talk about how we can transform the lead of hate or despair to the gold of love and peace. Amikaeyla shares more about how she healed herself from the trauma of a hate crime that led to years of rehabilitation. How do you reorient yourself after a painful, traumatizing experience? It is how we move on that defines us, is it not?
With so much hatred and division being drummed up by certain media channels, it’s refreshing to hear the positive stories that connect us as human beings inhabiting this beautiful earth together. You’ll hear the story of how an Iraqi refugee woman’s paralyzing trauma was transformed through Amikaeyla’s healing song and presence. And a special bonus: you’ll hear Amikaeyla singing Parana E - Taking it to the Streets.
