🎭 The EMBODY™ Praxis
Remember. Embody. Educate. Empower.
The EMBODY™ Praxis begins in the body, draws strength from Black cultural memory, and transforms trauma into tools for liberation.
This innovative framework bridges performance art, racial trauma theory, and healing-centered pedagogy to spark meaningful change in both academic and corporate settings.
Developed by scholar-artist Dr. Yao Kahlil Newkirk through the year-long durational performance Separation Anxiety, The EMBODY™ Praxis is rooted in lived experience, ritual practice, and scholarly depth. It challenges institutions to reimagine how they engage equity, identity, and cultural transformation—not as abstract ideals, but as embodied, ongoing commitments.
Remember. Embody. Educate. Empower.
