Welcome to the Emotional Justice experience of narrative. We bring to life the pages of a racial healing roadmap that grapples with a legacy of untreated trauma, the language of whiteness and the troubled focus of our racial healing model, how it shaped the world, and my call to create a new one. One called: EMOTIONAL JUSTICE. From the page to the stage, we bring to life the journey of discovery, broken silence, rage, resistance, rejection, emotional labour, emotional patriarchy that led to building this racial healing roadmap. It is our Dramatization and Dialogue experience. Join author, playwright, former international journalist Esther Armah for dialogue and actress Pearl Korkor Darkey for the dramatization. Join us as we enter a world where narrative is reimagined, where it reigns to unlearn, redefine and reimagine the future of racial healing.
