How can we be better allies to people of color and other marginalized communities, while also being compassionate with ourselves when things get messy?

Kerri Kelly is the founder of CTZNWELL, a movement to mobilize the well-being community into a powerful force for change. Her work was sparked on 9/11, when she lost her fireman step-dad in the Towers. She quickly discovered the power of mindfulness, not just as a tool for personal healing, but as a catalyst for collective change. Since then, Kerri has worked passionately across communities to fight for justice and well-being.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What we can do to make well-being more accessible to marginalized communities
How does White Fragility arise in us?
The way we become complicit in white supremacy and how we can check ourselves
What powerful white allyship looks like
How we can show up for marginalized communities and dismantle systems of oppression
