Combating the Effects of Racism with Intentional Breathing and Mindfulness with Zee Clarke

Combating the Effects of Racism with Intentional Breathing and Mindfulness with Zee Clarke

Hearing Zee Clarke share her life experiences and day-to-day encounters with racism was astonishing. The unfortunate truth is that for racism and any forms of prejudice to be eradicated, it is crucial that every single individual acknowledges its existence and actively works towards its alleviation. Laws alone cannot end injustice; the underlying causes must also be addressed because, as Clarke also expressed, individuals who commit such acts are often deeply traumatized and follow a false narrative that leads to these acts. 

Awareness is critical. Black People Breath: A Mindfulness Guide to Racial Healing is an essential book for people of color and their allies alike, as it raises awareness about the importance of combatting prejudice. It also stresses the significance of returning to one's breath when confronted with stressful situations. Zee Clarke’s book releases March 14th, 2023, and can be found at your local Barnes & Noble, on Amazon, or any book retailer.

About Zee: Mindfulness | Breathwork | Racial Healing 

Zee Clarke is a Harvard MBA that went from leading teams at Fortune 500 companies and startups in Silicon Valley to teaching mindfulness and breathwork to people of color. Why? After experiencing a number of race-related challenges, from racial profiling and harassment by the police to microaggressions in the workplace, she realized that mindfulness and breathwork were much more powerful outside of the yoga studio and in the context of our everyday lives. Trained in India, Zee leverages her toolkit of yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and Reiki to ensure that all people of color have the tools to thrive despite any challenges that race, gender, or sexuality might present.
