“Today, I believe there is nothing more subversive than helping to midwife a new evolutionary shift of the human species into an era where we will no longer be entranced with socioeconomic formations and ways of being and thinking that produce disconnection, domination, and devastation. Instead, we can be present upon the Earth in ways that bring healing, wholeness, and a sense of the sacred in our connection with one another and with all of creation.”
― Fania Davis, The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice: Black Lives, Healing, and US Social Transformation

“Healers and warriors are not opposites; they are complementaries. Moving beyond binaries, we need not embrace one and reject the other. We can hold them both as one.”
― Fania Davis, The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice: Black Lives, Healing, and US Social Transformation

“Challenge yourself to be a healer and activist for justice. Don't feel you have to choose one or the other. Be both. See activism as a form of social healing and interpersonal healing as a form of social justice. Transform and heal yourself as you transform and heal the world.”
― Fania Davis, The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice: Black Lives, Healing, and US Social Transformation
