Welcome to the Healing-Centered Conversations podcast! In this episode, we have a powerful discussion between Dr. Celeste Malone and Dr. Sherrie Proctor on the Juxtaposition of Black Joy and Black Trauma.  Healing is a form of resistance and in this special episode, Dr. Proctor sits down with Dr. Malone to begin the healing process. Dr. Malone describes in her own words, what happened in Denver for NASP 2023 and what she was feeling at that moment, and then reflects on the importance of mobilizing the community and the lessons learned from their response. Dr. Malone discusses the highs and lows of her presidency as just the second Black person to ever serve in the role of President of NASP. She shares her experiences and challenges in leading a national organization and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in her work. Importantly, listeners will hear firsthand, from two legends in the field of Schoo Psychology about their perspective on the importance of hope and healing in the face of trauma and systemic oppression. This episode is a powerful and necessary conversation for anyone interested in healing-centered practices and addressing the intersection of Black joy and trauma.
