    The Artifacts of Joy with Dr. Joy Wright

    In this final episode of Dig Deep with Dr. Yolie, Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz sits with Dr. Joy Wright for a conversation that brings the spirit of *Archaeology of Self®* into full view. Together, they explore Black archaeology, poetry, grief, beloved community, liberatory teaching, and the sacred work of honoring stories that have been erased, distorted, or left untold. Dr. Joy invites us to think deeply about artifacts, the body, the classroom, and the everyday practices that can either reproduce harm or build freedom. This conversation is a reminder that joy is not simply something we feel. Joy is something we practice, protect, and make possible.

    Love in Action with Amy Elizabeth Fox

    In this episode of Dig Deep with Dr. Yolie, Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz sits with Amy Elizabeth Fox, co-founder and CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership and co-author of Leading in Chaos.

    The Body as Archive with Dr. Marcellues Hall

    In this episode of Dig Deep with Dr. Yolie, Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz sits with her brother, educator, counselor, poet, and holistic wellness practitioner, Dr. Marcellues Hall. Together, they move through brokenness, breath, fatherhood, nervous system regulation, racial literacy, and the ongoing work of liberation. Rooted in Chapter 2 of Archaeology of Self®, this conversation reminds us that the journey to racial literacy is not only intellectual. It lives in the body. It lives in memory. It lives in what we inherit, what we practice, and what we are brave enough to heal. In this second offering, Dr. Hall invites listeners to consider what becomes possible when we love ourselves enough to regulate, reflect, release, and become more free.

    Where the Dig Begins with Dr. Angel Acosta

    In the first episode of Dig Deep with Dr. Yolie, Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz begins where so much of her story began: the Bronx. Joined by her hermano and collaborator, Dr. Angel Acosta, Dr. Yolie invites listeners into a powerful conversation about memory, place, history, healing, and the future of racial literacy. Together, they reflect on the Bronx as the teacher, the roots of Archaeology of Self®, and the urgent need to dig beneath the surface of who we are, what we’ve inherited, and how we imagine what comes next. From mindfulness and ancestral intelligence to artificial intelligence and critical love, this episode is an invitation to excavate the self, interrupt harm, and dream toward healing-centered futures.
