Racial Healing Self-Care Mindfulness Exercise

“Connecting with the sacredness within, the sacredness of your ancestors and your ways,” is how we heal from the pain and trauma of racism, says healer, educator and co-founder of the National Compadres Network, Jerry Tello. In this video, he also leads a simple healing exercise everyone can do at home. The National Day of Racial Healing was established by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in 2017 to promote healing as a critical path for ending racial bias and creating a society in which all children can thrive. This annual outreach grew out of WKKF’s Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation effort, a national and community-based process designed to bring transformational and sustainable change to communities, while addressing the historic and contemporary effects of racism.
