Embodied Justice with Dr. Judy Lubin
The Embodied Justice podcast delves into the intersection of inner well-being, social change, and racial justice. Hosted by Dr. Judy Lubin, the founder of the Center for Urban and Racial Equity, the podcast explores the ways that personal and collective trauma influence our roles as changemakers and the broader impact they have on our work. In urgent times, inner work is often overlooked when caring for communities and building toward a just and liberatory future.
In this podcast, we pause to celebrate our resilience and dedicate ourselves to personal and collective healing. We delve into practices and ideas that bolster our abilities as leaders and discuss topics at the crossroads of inner well-being, social change, and racial justice. Through insightful interviews and conversations with Black authors, embodiment and mindfulness teachers, transformation coaches, and racial equity practitioners, we examine profound subjects.
We'll contemplate how to maintain balance in pressing times, honor the wisdom of our ancestors, our bodies, and nature, and practice compassion for ourselves as we aim for healing and freedom for our communities.
Join us on the "Embodied Justice" podcast as we embark together on a journey toward a future where our well-being is a critical part of the justice movement.
