Testimonials

Dr. Majied is one of the most insightful, grounded and pragmatic scholars and practitioners I’ve encountered on the topic of finding our way to what she calls ‘dynamic inclusive excellence.’
— Vereene, Online Summit Participant
Low key changed my worldview and my language.
— Grey, Meditation Workshop Participant
As Co-Principal Investigator of the Contemplative Coping During Covid-19 at UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain, I have had the pleasure of working closely with you over these past four months to help us shift the course of our scientific research to become a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable practice. Furthering our goal to engage in the process of research to encode as much kindness as inquiry, you have been an invaluable asset as we rethink and rework our strategies of participant recruitment, train our research team, and interact with study participants. In each of these domains your insights and guidance have been revelatory. As an esteemed colleague, you are an absolute joy to work with. Your patient humor and light touch manifest deep expertise and guidance.
— Dr. Cliff Saron, Research Scientist UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain
Very thought provoking and powerful. Made me explore how we can carry internalized racism and how to address it in a self compassionate way in my relationships or even everyday interactions.
— Eve, Meditation Workshop Participant
 
I didn’t realize that one of the main reasons I felt so defeated when thinking about the plight of African, Latinx, and Indigenous people is that I felt small… I know now that I can give my ancestors justice through my words… Language as a conduit to liberation is going to be a lifelong devotion for me.
— Rakhi, Meditation Workshop Participant
Kamilah’s intellectual depth and breadth are beautifully matched by her compassion and heartfulness.
— Dr. Cliff Saron, Research Scientist UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain
Thank you for the fantastic sessions. I really appreciate your perspective and insight.

As stated in the book’s foreword:

“In ‘On Being Lailah’s Daughter,’ Kamilah Majied shares a beautiful praise-song for her mother, clearly her first spiritual teacher. She shares a story from her childhood of being frightened for no particular reason. Mother skillfully guides daughter to find her own inner strength: ‘She directed me to seek out wisdom and solace myself, thus training me to grow my seeking mind, my mind of faith, throughout my life.’”
