Our body houses the memory of our essence. Our body stores events, situations, and experiences that may or may not be detrimental to our own physical, mental, and/or psychological health. As artists and creatives of color, many of us have experienced racism and othering on a daily basis that we have opted to shut down our own body’s experience to avoid further trauma and pain.
