EP 88: Black Wellness & Community-Building with Rachael & Jaylee of You Good, Sis?

Feminist Killjoys, PhD

Rachael and Jaylee sit down with Raechel to talk about reclaiming wellness spaces for black and brown communities. They share their experiences of being black yogis in predominately white yoga spaces, building a black/brown-centered wellness organization from scratch, the importance of knowing your neighbors, and what white wellness spaces can do better to be more inclusive of people of color. They also stick around for RWLs!
