Black People Breathe: A Mindfulness Guide to Racial Healing

This is a thoughtful and inclusive guide to help Black people and all people of color heal from racial trauma using mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork. Doctors and psychologists have discovered the wide-ranging and often devastating effects of racism on emotional, physical, and mental health, from high blood pressure and heart problems to anxiety and depression. Yet, studies show that mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork can significantly reduce these issues.

Author Zee Clarke shares mindfulness exercises, breathwork practices, and meditative tools centered on healing from and surviving racial trauma. Filled with deeply personal stories highlighting the systemic challenges that people of color face, this guide and memoir offers thirty-three practical techniques based on the emotions elicited from these experiences.
