”Trauma is a hole that's burned into the mind, burned into the heart, burned even into the soul...Healing is the light that begins to fill it. "

“For me, trauma is any emotion attached to the loss of someone or something that transcends our way of thinking. The feelings never really leave...but healing helps us carry it with more ease.”

"You can't address the sliver of individual trauma without looking at the larger picture of how this was all designed...People's spirit and psyche can heal, but we need the right conditions...And when those conditions are met, healing becomes not just possible, but powerful.”

“A lot of people see police officers as robots. Like we shouldn't be affected by trauma...There’s that male bravado. Like there's nothing wrong with you...We ourselves have to be able to take that step and say it's okay to talk about it...Because healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to speak.”

“Racial trauma has damaged our communities...I have hope in Black people—in all people. With that hope, healing becomes possible.”
