"Culture Meets Presence” captures an 8-week journey of self-awareness and embodiment of mindfulness-based practices for a small, diverse group of Black women who want to improve mind-body awareness, decrease acute and chronic stress-related symptoms, and integrate mindfulness into daily living. Intentionally highlighting culturally relevant factors that impact the health and livelihood of Black women stemming from trauma associated with the intersectionality of race, gender, and systemic oppression.

This film explores cultural roots of mindfulness meditation within kemetic yoga, ancestral healing cultivated pre-Civil Rights Era, and is fused with interviews from prominent Black female psychologist, mental health clinicians and mindfulness teacher. Challenging group participants to video record weekly reflections of present-moment awareness through mindful eating, consumerism of Black-owned products, healing the “inner-critic”, and mindful self-compassion.
