For episode 192, @sharonsalzberg welcomes Cecilia Loving to the Metta Hour to speak about Diversity, Inclusion, and embodied Lovingkindness. Cecilia describes how she found meditation and a connection to God. Her story of growing up in the inner city and eventually becoming a trailblazer for diversity is inspirational. Cecilia describes mindfulness within discussion circles. In a circle, each person is allotted time to speak. Others must mindfully listen and remain silent. Circles help establish a common ground that we all can relate to. This is important when considering DEAI because circles give inclusive, uninterrupted time to people who may not otherwise have a voice. Cecilia implores this in her work at PBS. “It is that ancient tradition that comes from elders sitting around the fire or just community connecting.” – Cecilia B.
