BLACK PEOPLE BREATHE

Zee Clarke

A Mindfulness guide to Racial Healing

A thoughtful, practical guide featuring 32 mindfulness exercises centered on healing for the Black community.

A gorgeously-illustrated book by Zee Clarke, a Harvard MBA, who went from leading teams at fortune 500 companies and startups in Silicon Valley to teaching mindfulness and breathwork to people of color. In BLACK PEOPLE BREATHE, Zee draws on her professional expertise and her perspective as a Black woman to offer mindfulness exercises, breathwork practices, and meditative tools centered on healing and survival for Black people in America.

A thoughtful, practical guide featuring 32 mindfulness exercises centered on healing for the Black community with each chapter highlighting one of the many systemic challenges that Black people face, and offering exercises based on the emotions elicited from these experiences. Whether you're coping with police brutality, racial profiling, microaggressions, or even imposter syndrome, Clarke prescribes practical techniques that will help you process these complex feelings mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Studies show that mindfulness can ease mental health concerns, and having experienced the benefits firsthand, Clarke shares the practices that have been essential to her well-being. A beautifully designed paper-over-board book with 60 gorgeous, vibrant illustrations throughout, BLACK PEOPLE BREATHE takes an inclusive approach to mindfulness, centering and validating the experiences of the Black community.

Zee Clarke is the founder of Reclaiming Flow, where she helps people of color learn how mindfulness can improve their well-being in the workplace. She has trained Black employees at leading brands like Facebook and The North Face.

She has opened my eyes wider to issues I've been aware of and discussing for several years. The magic with this book is that Zee's personal touch completely expands my awareness, and gives me a new perspective that will propel me in my work moving forward. And, I plan to implement the breathing techniques into my own life. I am grateful to Zee for her honesty, vulnerability, and strength. I am recommending this book to all of my friends and colleagues, as we will all learn and grow by reading Black People Breathe.
