Mindfulness Yoga | We Gon’ Be Alright Series

This curriculum is inspired by two cultural icons whose words move worlds—Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Kendrick Lamar, often called “the poet laureate of hip-hop,” and James Baldwin, the acclaimed writer and truth-teller who received France’s Legion of Honor and was hailed as America’s poet of both the struggle and the soul. Their legacies speak to the power of knowing who you are—and daring to speak it aloud. In this session, teens will explore what it means to stay grounded in who they are while navigating a world that often asks them to wear a mask. Inspired by Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE”. and the words of James Baldwin, we’ll examine how humility can be a quiet form of strength. Through yoga, journaling, and real talk, participants will begin to uncover the difference between ego and authenticity. Come ready to reflect, move, and get real.
