Reclaiming Spirit: A Call to Educators of Color Healing From the Trauma of Schooling
Abstract
This chapter explores the concept of reclaiming spirit as a pathway towards healing from racial trauma for educators of color committed to racial justice. It addresses the devastating impact of racial trauma within schools, which perpetuates white supremacy and spirit murders, resulting in a lost sense of self. The chapter advocates for educators to engage in intentional healing by drawing on ancestral knowledge and focusing inward. The chapter proposes that true liberation is achieved when educators embrace ancestral ways of knowing, doing, and being beyond traditional schooling. The chapter concludes by introducing the “characteristics of a healthy community,” an afro-indigenous lens to community care, offering guidance on creating transformative and revolutionary spaces within schools and personal lives.
