Clinical psychologist Dr. Nathalie Edmond presents "The Somatics of Being a Racial Being" via Zoom. This program will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. Please register to receive the link.

We hold being racial beings in our bodies and that gets passed down through the generations. White people as a collective tend not to see themselves as racial beings so when invited in or called out about whiteness they don’t have the capacity or haven’t built the muscle to have meaningful dialogues about race and be antiracist. This conversation will explore what unexamined whiteness looks like somatically and how bodies of color also hold racial trauma in their bodies.
