What would we have to risk to be reconnected? w. Nanci Luna Jiménez

What would be have to risk to be reconnected?

Join us in an honest conversation with Nanci Luna Jiménez (she/her) exploring why it is necessary to ground in our human goodness to end racism.

Nanci Luna Jiménez has committed to her own healing for more than 30 years to be a transformative guide, heart-centered listener, and authentic companion for leaders and change-makers committed to racial healing and social justice. Since founding the Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation in 1994, she has reached tens of thousands of people with her core message of human goodness and connection as a transformational approach to social change.

Nanci works from the premise that systems are made up of humans, and unhealed humans perpetuate harm and injustice. Her approach centers healing and authentic relationships as the foundation for sustainable systems change and accountability. She gently reminds people what they already know: oppression can only end with their healing, and, with support, they can completely heal!

As a sought after TEDx speaker, coach, and master-level facilitator, Nanci’s approach honors the legacy and teachings of Dr. Erica “Ricky” Sherover-Marcuse, who coined the term “unlearning racism,” and Lillian Roybal Rose, M.Ed., an expert in cross-cultural communication.

Of Afro-Puerto Rican and Mexican heritage, Nanci was born in Detroit, MI, and raised in Detroit and Tucson, AZ. She currently lives in Portland, OR.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• How oppression fools us into thinking we can “feel” good 

• How adultism - the oppression of young people - is the training ground for all oppression

• What becomes possible when we to build connection to our goodness

• Why it is so critical we get listened to
