Joyfully Just: Black Wisdom and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living
Liberating meditation practices designed to invoke profound compassion for humanity and the struggles that divide us.
Many of us have been conditioned to think about justice as something to be sought only externally, a cause to fight for in the world. But what if instead of looking outside ourselves, we start within? With Joyfully Just , we are invited on a transformative journey that brings our inner world into liberating reflection and radically reframes the way we think about privilege, oppression, and equality.
With her empowering new book, Dr. Kamilah Majied shares many of the insights and experiences that gave rise to her leadership as a joyful champion of contemplative approaches to mental health and social justice. Joyfully Just offers Dr. Majied’s inspiring and unique approach to facing injustice by embodying joy and allowing playful curiosity to guide us. Readers are enveloped in an intimate experience where they are encouraged to play with ways of being just towards themselves and extend that playful engagement to friends, family, social settings, and the natural environment.
Woven with threads of timeless wisdom, Joyfully Just illustrates a profound vision of what is possible. “We are all learners and teachers,” Dr. Majied says, “and by engaging with these practices, we are able to access the freedom that comes with tearing off the restrictive garments of privilege and internalized oppression as we allow our hearts, minds, and souls to be liberated and unafraid in the world.”
