Join Akilah and Báyò as they enter the BAYO-sphere to discuss the politics of trauma, psychology, and healing. Báyò – masterful at peering into the cracks of what we assume to be broken or fixed – exposes the irony of trauma, privilege, and justice as reinforcing the very conditions we try to avoid. He encourages us to rethink the concepts of trauma or healing. And he invites us to explore so far from what we know that we become lost and untethered and, with any luck, find ourselves in a place we can’t yet imagine.
Báyò Akómoláfé, Ph.D., is a widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, public intellectual, essayist, and author of two books, These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home, and We Will Tell our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak.
Báyò is the Founder of The Emergence Network and host of the online postactivist course, ‘We Will Dance with Mountains’. He currently lectures at Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, and University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont. He sits on the Board of many organizations including Science and Non-Duality (US) and Local Futures (Australia).
