Similarly, the yes, yes ya''ll, phrase, used by classic 1990''s-era hip hop DJs and artists, evokes the passion in Black American culture. Written with that same celebratory spirit--and using the idea of culture and SOUL synonymously--this book explores of the ways in which integrating SOUL (culture) with contemplative practices can foster healing and restoration, expanding our understanding of leadership and community interaction and impact. With years of experience in higher education and as a mentor and teacher living in Senegal, the author stresses the importance of celebrating Black cultures, including the role of ancestry, community interdependence, elder-mentors and institutions such as HBCUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface: Here Is What We Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter I. We Got SOUL; We Feel Good!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter II. It Ain't Right: ­Race-Based Stress and Trauma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter III. Getting to Theibbu Jenn: Surrendering to Love and Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IV. #CommunityHeals: Getting to Theibbu Jenn, Part II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter V. In Big and Small Ways: The Importance of ­Elder-Mentors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VI. Waiting on Red Birds: Honoring Our Ancestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VII. #RitualHeals: Meeting Mami Wata \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VIII. #NatureHeals: This Land Is Our Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IX. #GoingHome: Healing Where the Wounds Were Made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter X. #CultureHeals: Bold, Bright, Brilliant and Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XI. #LoveHeals: ­Self-Love and Being Your Authentic Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XII. My SOUL to Keep: ­Self-Care and Resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIII. #YogaHeals: Being at Home in Our Own Bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIV. #XEEX!: Resistance Is Healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515848397143,"sku":"9781476684741","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476684741.jpg?v=1745428064","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/we-got-soul-we-can-heal-9781476684741","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
