About this listen
Liberating meditation practices drawn from Black cultural traditions and Buddhism to bring forth courage, transform grief, defeat injustice, and manifest joy
Many of us have come to think about justice as a “struggle,” a cause to fight for in the world. But what if the work of justice begins within? What if there were a way to find joy in the journey toward justice?
With Joyfully Just, Dr. Kamilah Majied offers an inspiring and unique approach to overcoming injustice with joy, courage, and playful curiosity. She shares many of the insights and experiences that gave rise to her leadership as a joyful champion of contemplative approaches to mental health and social justice.
Drawing on timeless wisdom from Buddhism and Black traditions, Majied invites us to play with different ways of being just toward ourselves and all life around us. Here, we discover how to:
• Play with creative and artistic practices to develop critical consciousness and become more mindful, inclusive, and anti-racist
• Explore language as a pathway to liberation and justice
• Unlearn and heal from white supremacy, internalized racism, and other forms of oppression and bias
By engaging with these practices, we are able to access the freedom that comes with tearing off the restrictive habits of privilege and internalized oppression as we allow our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls to be liberated, unafraid, and agentive in the world.

“Powerful teachings in a powerful voice on every page. This book arrives just in time to reboot and expand our collective understanding of what an inclusively human, multicultural, multiracial dharma, in all its universals and in all its beautifully differentiated ancestral and cultural particulars, might look like. I will be living inside this book for a long, long time.”—Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living
“In a world so marked by social hierarchies, oppression, and violence, Joyfully Just stands as a beacon of hope and a call to action. Dr. Majied’s approach to social justice is a refreshing and powerful reminder that when we start within, we can create a more equitable and compassionate world for ourselves and others. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a path to personal and collective liberation.”—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and Trusting the Gold
“In Joyfully Just, Dr. Majied offers a creative and liberative masterpiece, a pulsing testament to the richness and strength of Black wisdom and Buddhism, dancing together for the greater good. A book to savor, celebrate, and share broadly.”—Ruth King, author of Mindful of Race
