Community Wellness and Collective Liberation with Susan Raffo

Community Wellness and Collective Liberation with Susan Raffo

Susan Raffo is a cranial therapist, esteemed writer, and cultural worker, sharing her heart's wisdom with the NARM community and the motivation behind her latest book, Liberated To The Bone. Susan's professional approach combines NARM's trauma-informed framework with the nuances of her ancestral lineage as both colonizer and the colonized.

In her conversation with NARM Senior Trainer Brad Kammer, Susan explores the "intersections between healing our physical bodies and healing our social relations" and working towards the end of white supremacy and settler colonialism while preserving the memory of her grandfather's native line.

About Susan Raffo:

She works with REP: Relationship Evolving Possibilities, a Black-led community-based crisis response model grounded in the belief that we have the ability to love and protect one another without giving our agency to systems built to destroy, consume, or commodify us. Author of Queerly Classed (South End Press, 1997) and Restricted Access (Seal Press, 1999), she is published in a range of anthologies and websites. She is based in Minneapolis, MN.
