Jayson's Story
"Being Black and disabled was filling me up with rage. I heard the words doubly marginalized, I thought about how this country only valued Black people for what their bodies could do, and I looked at myself and thought how doubly worthless I was. And I was mad. I had no control over what body I got put in, and I didn't think it was fair the one I got, and I hated my body for a long time.
​
I'm not gonna say MBSR changed all of that, but it helped me get beyond that story some. It took me more than eight sessions to get to where I am now, but after those first eight I could be in my body without hating it so much. I could feel the sun on my face, and smell the food cooking at the Indian restaurant down the street. It helped me, to notice those things."
