"Therefore, when we talk about the need to center our collective healing and mental, physical and spiritual restoration, this is not simply about some arcane exercise aimed at assuaging our bruised and battered egos. No. Nor are we talking about merely getting some sessions on some therapist couch, hugging trees or purchasing a set of yoga sessions with some incense and badu head wrap. No. We are suggesting that what is needed is a total social and mental reformulation of our movement towards justice to not only include our healing but to actually CENTER the need for us to create a new operational cultural paradigm that acknowledges, promotes and infuses all of our personal and collective choices with a healing and health directive. Any and all definitions or ideas of justice, reparations, equity and freedom must be centered in the primacy of our individual and collective mental healing. And make no mistake about it, our healing must come and be done ultimately and most importantly as a collective."
