Tiokasin talks with Kerri Kelly, author of "American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal" (North Atlantic Books, 2022). The book dives deep into wellness culture and economy while asserting a central thesis: When we are preoccupied with our own pursuit of wellness we fail to see and work toward a culture of collective care and well-being that actually works for everyone. Kerri is an activist, wellness disruptor and the high-profile, well-connected founder of CTZNWELL, a movement that is democratizing well-being for all. A community organizer and wellness activist, Kelli is recognized across communities for her inspired work to bridge transformational practice with social justice. Her leadership has inspired a movement that is actively organizing around issues of racial and economic justice, healthcare as a human right, civic engagement and more. Kerri is a powerful facilitator, TED speaker, and host of the prominent podcast CTZN. For more information: https://kerrikelly.co and https://ctznwell.org
