To mark International Women’s Day, we sit down with Esther Armah, the visionary CEO and founder of The Armah Institue of Emotional Justice. On this powerful episode of AudioDiaspora, Esther shares her insights on Black women’s relationship to work, joy, and Black love, as discussed in her latest book, “Emotional Justice: A Roadmap for Racial Healing.” She also shares the groundbreaking work of her institute.
From her upbringing as the daughter of activists during the 1966 Ghanaian military coup to her dynamic career as a playwright, author, and journalist, Esther’s journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Tune in as Christabel and Esther navigate through topics ranging from the impact of geography on racial healing to the significance of the Black Frontline project. Esther invites us to envision a world where healing is not just a possibility but a tangible reality for all.
