Decolonizing the Body: Healing, Body-Centered Practices for Women of Color to Reclaim Confidence, Dignity, and Self-Worth

As a woman of color, you are more likely to experience oppression, discrimination, and physical or sexual violence in your lifetime. In addition, your family may have experienced generational trauma and systemic racism going back for centuries. This old and new trauma can manifest in both the mind and body. However, there are ways you can free yourself from this trauma.

Written by a woman of color for women of color, Decolonizing the Body offers proven-effective somatic, body-centered practices to help you heal from systemic oppression, trust the profound wisdom of your own body, and reconnect with your true self. And by slowing down, cultivating a daily ritual, and setting strong boundaries, you can reclaim your inherent dignity and worth.

With this empowering guide, you'll discover: how bodies are colonized through systems of oppression; why slowing down is essential for healing; how to listen to what your body needs; how to create a space for ritual in your daily life; how to strengthen feelings of capability; and how to cultivate community.

To decolonize the body is to become whole again, and to come home again. Let this book be your guide on this crucial journey.
