A vital path home. Employing African epistemologies and an embodied African beingness, this book embraces the revelation and miracle of Blackness. Creating a world worthy of our children requires recalling the dignity and distinction of the African way of life. This book is not written for settler consumption. Kindred Creation is a call and response to dream and design better worlds rooted in African lifeways: a path to Black freedom, a love letter to Black futures, and a blueprint to intergenerational Black joy and dignity--all (and always) on Black terms. Author, organizer, and designer Aida Mariam Davis explores the historical and ongoing impacts of settler colonialism, making explicit the ways that extraction, oppression, and enslavement serve the goals of empire--not least by severing ancestral connections and disrupting profound and ancient relationships to self, nature, and community. Structured in three parts--Remember, Refuse, and Reclaim--Kindred Creation is a philosophical guidebook and a vital invitation to power and reconnection. Davis employs parable, poetry, theory, memory, narrative, and prophecy to help readers: Remember By unforgetting the unending and cascading violence of settler colonialism and other forms of domination and exploring the ways that African land, language, lifestyle, and labor are stolen, distorted, and repackaged for colonial consumption to extract capital and sever ties to ancestral knowledge, lifeways, and dignityRefuse By rejecting and interrupting death-making institutions and relationships and choosing kinship and self-determination in the face of settler colonial violenceReclaim By revealing that freedom is within us--and within reach. Davis shares how the reader can birth new worlds and relationships and offers strategies for reclaiming land, language, lifestyle, and labor.The colonial violence and dispossession of African land, language, and labor is inflicted intentionally--and by design. Reclaiming African lifeways and remembering what was forcibly forgotten must be by creation a re-membering of our interconnectedness and kinship.
A revolutionary 3-part model for dismantling shame: integrate trauma, unlearn self-blame, and reclaim your personal power For readers of Brené Brown, Curt Thompson, and Tara Brach We're sold the idea that shame serves a purpose: it must protect us from something...otherwise it wouldn't be there. Right? Not really. In Unshamed, author, therapist, and professor David Bedrick reveals that there really is no good "use" for shame--and offers a revolutionary model to dismantle it. He shows how shame affects us all...and often in ways we might not expect. Shame connects to our struggles, our relationships, how we show up in the world, and how the world shows up (or fails to) for us. So how we can shed our shame, integrate our trauma, and unleash the personal power, efficacy, and confidence that are our birthright? Bedrick breaks it down in three parts: Respect: how the practice of witnessing can help us be fully seen, heard, and held--and what that can do for our self-power and self-esteemRelating: how to restore our sense of mattering--especially when our hurt, neglect, or trauma shows up as shameRadical belief: how we can reclaim our voice, experiences, and embodied truths by owning our authority, autonomy, and authentic needs without projecting our shame and trauma onto others Bedrick explores the roots of shame, sharing the connections between trauma, shame, and experiential validation--and explains how shame shows up when woundedness isn't seen, held, and appreciated by ourselves and our loved ones. He helps us understand the role of boundaries in healing from shame; how shame impacts our physical health and wellness; how to unshame disturbing feelings; and the interconnections among body, social issues, shame, and abuse. With exercises, profound insights, case studies, and psychological science, Unshamed is an easy-to-understand guide to breaking shame down for good.
