I am very excited to announce that the book projects I have been involved in the last year and half with an incredible group of activist scholars are launching this summer! Practicing Liberation: Transformative Strategies of Collective Healing and Systems Change, is a trauma-informed anthology with reflections on burnout, trauma & building communities of care in social justice work. This anthology features essays from editors Hala Khouri and Tessa Hicks Peterson as well as the contributors Kazu Haga, Jacoby Ballard, Leslie Booker, Taj James, Therese Julia Uy, Kerri Kelly, Sará King, Nkem Ndefo, Keely Nguyen, Dalia Paris-Saper, Valorie Thomas, Claudia Vanessa Reyes, and Davion “Zi” Ziere.
Practicing Liberation can be used on its own or alongside The Practicing Liberation Workbook which offers tangible tools and practices for individuals, organizations and communities to do together that orient toward embodied leadership, interconnected collectives, and a bold vision for transformation—the vital tools we need for collective wellbeing, healing, and long-term social change.
