Acknowledging Anger and Developing Compassion. I have always known anger, which is something I admit without shame.
And over the past seven years of practicing Buddhism, I’ve observed that Buddhist theology has a contentious relationship with anger. My first experiences with anger began in elementary school—perhaps even in pre-school—when I first had a taste of what it meant to be Black in a primarily white space as an intelligent and ambitious girl in a space that prioritized the advancement of white boys.

The Healers Aren't Well: The Importance of Financial Wellness in Overall Wellness. The wellness industry is projected to grow from $48 billion to $66 billion between 2017-2022 as individuals have taken on the burden of superficially healing the harm inflicted by our government, institutions (e.g. medical, academic, corporate), and historical karma, buying crystals and massages for one hour of peace to offset the hours of struggle and pain.
