Meeting Dr. Norissa & Dr. Bukky

Welcome to Radical Remembering with psychologists Dr. Norissa and Dr. Bukky. This is a weekly conversation where we explore the ways we’ve internalized oppression and consider what it really means to be liberated. Each episode will leave you with intimate knowledge of the liberation process, sprinkle a little healing magic, and leave you with wisdom for your journey.

Liberation is the state of being free from the bonds of ignorance. It is the ability to live in a way that is not limited by past or present circumstances. Liberation can be experienced through many different spiritual paths, but it is essentially the same, no matter your chosen path. The type of liberation you experience will depend on the intensity and quality of your spiritual practice.

Dr. Norissa Williams is the founder and executive director of Liberation RPI. She is also a psychologist, healer, interventionist, scientist, and practitioner. Dr. Bukky, on the other hand, is the founder of Relationship HQ. She is also a licensed clinical psychologist, practitioner and is actively in the process of reclaiming her identity as a healer

In this episode, Dr. Norissa and Dr. Bukky, the podcast hosts, share some extremely powerful insights on what the Radical Remembering podcast is all about, how Dr. Norissa and Dr. Bukky met, about Dr. Bukky’s work, a little about Dr. Norissa’s background, what attracted Dr. Norissa to her work and Dr. Bukky’s journey into deGEMMification.
