Episode 58.
Rev. Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery, a pastologist (ordained minister and licensed psychologist), TEDx speaker, and author, joins me to talk about her second book Dismantling Racism: Healing Separation from the Inside Out. Packed with stories of anti-racism and ways to increase one’s sacred intelligence, Dismantling Racism proved a rich and engaging topic for our conversation. Terrlyn shares her ideas on the intersection of sacred motive, self-ish mindset and shared movement. We can each contribute something to this critical personal and communal work. Quoting the bible’s Scroll of Esther, she notes that “You were born for such a time as this.” Tune in for inspiration!
Highlights:
· Sacred Motive, Self-ish Mindset and Shared Movement
· Tear down harmful systems and increase racial equity
· Focus on continual growth, incorporate small actions into your life.
· BREATHE: Breathe, Reflect, Engage, Adjust, Heal
· Breath as a connection to the Divine, to the sacred.
· Acknowledge and use the anger of injustice and connect with others in a loving way.
· Learn, ask questions, and listen for the wisdom.
