episode 5: Redefining Resilience | Devika Shankar
I am honored to be in conversation with Devika Shankar, a transnational feminist, organizer, and advocate interested in supporting activists and organizers of color in building an embodied practice and increasing their capacity for resilience in the face of long-haul social justice work.
In this conversation we talk about what happens when our nervous system over reacts and the subtle practice of becoming more aware when that occurs. We discuss how to find practices which regulate us and why this self regulation is important for social justice movements to survive and thrive. We also dig into activism, resilience and how you can get involved in making a difference!
Devika has over 13 years of experience in the field of domestic violence, working with survivors of color, immigrants, youth, and LGBTQ survivors. She’s an organizer with AF3IRM, and In her work at Lumos Transforms, Devika provides and training on trauma-informed and resilience-oriented approaches.
Your support is deeply appreciated!
