About this episode

This week, Tovi Scruggs Hussein shares that the foundation of racial healing is emotional work. Most long-term healing involves deep exploration of emotions. Fortunately, many of us have come to recognize that the competencies we call “emotional intelligence” are the rock-solid basis of meaningful and productive change. The ability to regulate emotions is a superpower.

This meditation is a key part of our Racial Healing Series, guided by Tovi. This series offers a space for reflection, vulnerability, and learning, aimed at dismantling racism through emotional intelligence and cultural humility. Each session, including today's, builds on mindfulness techniques to explore race and racism, fostering deep, systemic change through personal and collective healing. Join us as we navigate these critical topics with compassion and awareness, striving for a more inclusive and healed society.
