I am a writer, yoga teacher, and PhD student

I am Deaweh Benson

I am a writer, yoga teacher, and PhD student in developmental psychology. I wake up each morning inspired by my dreams of radical self-care and mental health.

My career is aimed towards increasing wellness in marginalized communities  and contributing to efforts to confront and dismantle systems of oppression. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College and Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Michigan where I examine radical self-care and healing among Black young adults. I have taught in educational institutions in America and China, conducted research in the academy and private research organizations, and served and launched education non-profits.

Being Radical is my offering. At Being Radical, you will find more than yoga and meditation practices. I offer insights from my research and spiritual practice to help empower your own radical practice. This platform is an invitation for you to connect with the highest version of  yourself.

Contact me with further inquiries. I look forward to collaborating with you!
