Black Couch Conversations: Love Let's Talk About Black Peace

Author: Catrice M. Jackson

We are quick to holler, "No Justice, no peace," when the system of whiteness steals the lives o four loved ones. We scream it when the police brutalize our communities. We chant it when we are sick and tired of systemic marginalization, oppression, and violence. But what do we shout when we take our own lives, when we brutalize our communities, when we are sick and tired of community violence and Black folks harming one another? 

We need to channel that same fire and energy into holding each other accountable for the harm we cause to one another. We need to rally together to inspire each other to prioritize and practice more healing, self-love, self-care, and peace. You will not be in peace with other Black folks who are at war within themselves, and they won't be in peace with you if you are at war within yourself. 

What if "No healing, no peace" became one of our daily chants? Let's Talk About Black Peace shares how to win our personal battles and start our healing journeys so we can be better, stronger, and wiser to win the war agains toxic whiteness and white terrorism. You'll be inspired to define peace for yourself, search for and identify your pain, understand why it's essential to release your pain, learn how to stop causing harm to other Black folks, and discover how to pick up your pieces and put yourself back together with deliberate urgency and love. 

I hope you open the door to peace. Walk in with conviction and bold confidence, and let peace become you. It's time to get radical and make healing and peace part of your daily revolution!
