“From a deep place within his heart, Brett Bevell is supporting us in realizing that racism exists, not only though unjust laws and the dysfunctional systemic policies in our businesses, schools, and government, but also in our cells, our emotions, our brains and hearts, the ghosts of our ancestors, and the family systems we’ve inherited—and like other forms of disease, it can be addressed and healed if we look at it fiercely and honestly, and have the courage to act accordingly. Thank you, Brett, for this beautiful bag of tools we can use to dismantle race-based conditioning.” —Iyanla Vanzant, host of talk show Iyanla: Fix My Life and author of One Day My Soul Just Opened Up: 40 Days and 40 Nights Toward Spiritual Strength and Personal Growth
“Healing Racism Within is a smart and clear-eyed book, necessary for these times. Brett Bevell transforms his own negative childhood racial experiences into psychologically constructive exercises for us to heal the inner psycho-spiritual landscape of how systemic racism manifests, not only through unjust laws and policies, but in all levels of our being.” —Mike Dooley, New York Times bestselling author of Infinite Possibilities
“Many people who enjoy what is being called White Privilege are waking up to a world that is holding a mirror to those whose reflection is unflattering and increasingly untenable. The stages for addressing this discouraging news, even among the best of us, generally go something like this: obliviousness, denial, awareness, guilt, immobilization, effective action. Healing Racism Within is a potent guide for moving into effective action—first as an inside job and then as you make your imprint on the world.” —Donna Eden and David Feinstein, PhD, creators of the Eden Energy Medicine and Radiant Circuits methods and authors of Energy Medicine: Balancing Your Body’s Energies for Optimal Health, Joy, and Vitality and many other books
