The Ally + Accomplice Meditation for White People:
Dr. Candice Nicole is a counseling psychologist who created this meditation to contribute to the Movement for Black Lives. Originally creating a meditation titled "Black Lives Matter Meditation for Healing Racial Trauma," Dr. Nicole knew that she would also like to "create a complimentary meditation for White people who would like to partner in liberation with Black people. Partnering allows us reach the goal of healing and liberation in a more loving and unified manner, but to be an ally requires an anti-racist mindset. In our current world, that requires a daily practice of meditation on Whiteness and the value and humanity of Black people."
