Kelsey Blackwell, author of Decolonizing the Body, joins us to discuss how trauma can manifest in both the mind and body. Kelsey is a cultural somatics practitioner and writer dedicated to supporting women of color to trust and follow the guidance of the body, so they may powerfully radiate their worth, dignity, and wisdom in a world which sorely needs this brilliance. As a facilitator, coach, and guest speaker, she has brought abolitionist-embodied practices to diverse groups—from Bay Area Rapid Transit train riders to students at Stanford University. She works one-on-one with clients, and leads an eight-week group program, Decolonizing the Body. Kelsey is author of the viral article, Why People of Color Need Spaces Without White People, published by The Arrow Journal. She is a certified InterPlay Leader, Strozzi Somatic Coach, and holds a master’s degree in publishing from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
