Honoring a Spiritual Debt: Walking the Path of Reparations and White Accountability
At Soul Vision Healing Center, we believe true healing requires truth-telling.
We cannot speak about wholeness while ignoring the wounds this country was built on. We cannot offer transformation without acknowledging the systems that have intentionally harmed BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) communities for centuries. And we cannot walk a spiritual path without asking—what is the soul of a nation that continues to separate based on skin color.
Reparations are not just political. They are spiritual. And reparations can truly be done individually by every human, through the lens of love and inclusivity.
I was educated on white privilege at Agape Spiritual Spiritual Center who brought in Tim Wise and his documentary called White Like Me. Watching this powerful documentary confirmed something within me that I always knew. That white skinned people were viewed as “better” than people of color. I didn’t have this awareness.
I am deeply inspired by thought leaders like Ta-Nehisi Coates, who remind us that reparations are not about guilt or shame—they’re about responsibility. They are about facing the truth with courage, honoring the past with reverence, and choosing to repair what was broken—not just in policy, but in spirit.
Reparations are about:
The schools that were never funded.
The land that was stolen and never returned.
The businesses burned to the ground.
The wealth denied across generations.
The ancestral grief carried in bodies still today.
Spiritual justice is about remembrance and reconciliation. It’s about saying, “We see you. We hear your suffering. And we will not deny it any longer.” It’s about acknowledging that the descendants of enslaved people carry trauma in their bodies, and the country carries it in its soil.
At Soul Vision, we do not separate healing from justice.
We are committed to economic, educational, and spiritual reparations by:
Donating a percentage of proceeds from specific events and services to reparative justice organizations.
Honoring ancestral wisdom from African, Native, and Indigenous lineages in our teachings—with permission, respect, and reciprocity.
Creating educational spaces that address collective trauma, truth-telling, and dismantling systems of oppression inside and outside the healing world.
This isn’t a trend for us. This is a calling and a long-term commitment to realigning with integrity, equity, and soul.
Many are also not aware that our Jewish, Irish, and Scottish ancestry carries a deep, ancestral trauma as well —one that, in many ways, mirrors the experiences of our tan, brown, and black skinned brothers and sisters. The difference is, our skin color has afforded us privilege and protection that they were not given. I believe many people of color may not be fully aware of the parallels in our histories, just as many white-presenting people haven’t recognized the depth of shared pain. But I truly believe that through honest education and storytelling, we can uncover these connections—and in doing so, build deeper understanding and unity.
It is in our similarities, we find connection.
Because healing without justice is a spiritual bypass.
And we’re here to walk the full path—not just the comfortable one.
We invite our community to stand with us in this commitment. To listen deeply. To learn. To give. To repair. To be part of the rising world where we don’t just talk about love—we embody it through action.
Our Free 21 day Equtiy Habit Building Challenge is a beautiful opportunity to explore this in a safe container and will be offered a few times a year. www.Americaandmoore.com offers us this teaching for growth and knowledge.
May we all become good ancestors.
With heart and fire,
Jules
