Episode 5: Remembering to Dream with Michelle C. Johnson
In this special episode of ALL THE F*CK IN, Tristan (they/them) and Lauren (she/her) interview their mentor, collaborator, and one of their absolute favorite humans, Michelle Cassandra Johnson.
Michelle is a social justice warrior, author, dismantling racism trainer, yoga teacher, and intuitive healer with more than 20 years of experience leading dismantling racism work and working with clients as a licensed clinical social worker. She has a deep understanding of how trauma impacts the mind, body, spirit, and heart, and her awareness of the world through her own experience as a Black woman allows her to know firsthand how privilege and power operate.
Tune in to hear about…
Michelle’s career path and what led her to the work she does today
Her experience as a dismantling racism trainer and how she brings this into yoga and wellness spaces
How she works with rituals to stay connected to her intuition
What it looks like to operate as an entrepreneur with many different offerings
All things money and abundance in social change work
And more!
A note on content: Self-care is radical and non-negotiable in the work of justice AND entrepreneurship. Some of these conversations include mention of trauma, both from a systemic and often racialized perspective, and in relationship to experiences like sexual violence. We hope you do what you need to take care of yourself while listening, even if that means pausing and returning to an episode at another time or skipping it altogether.
