The Black Rest Podcast https://centerforblackvisualculture.podbean.com The Black Rest Podcast is an intimate, thought-provoking exploration of rest as a radical and restorative
act within Black life. Hosted by Dejha Carrington, the series invites artists, scholars, and activists to
reimagine the meaning of rest—not as retreat, but as resistance, renewal, and revolution.


Across rich and resonant conversations with voices like Nadege Green, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Bettina
Love, Khary Lazarre-White, James Allister Sprang, Treva B. Lindsey, and others, listeners are guided
through the intersections of rest, creativity, healing, and community. Together, they unpack how rest
connects to ancestral wisdom, collective care, and the ongoing pursuit of Black freedom and joy.


Through storytelling, reflection, and honest dialogue, the Black Rest Podcast offers a meditative space to
pause, breathe, and imagine new ways of being. Each episode honors rest as both a personal necessity
and a communal practice—a sacred act of resistance that fuels creativity, nurtures resilience, and
deepens connection.
