In this episode of Facing the Moment, we explore the fundamental human need to be seen, respected, and treated with dignity, a right too often denied throughout history due to race and identity
Toufic Hakim, PhD sat in conversation with Requina Barnes, MSW, an IFS-trained social worker, legacy healing coach, and former board member of the Foundation for Self-Leadership
Together, they dive deep into the complexities of racial tension in 2026, discussing how to preserve our humanity and pursue justice without surrendering compassion
Requina shares personal insights on navigating systemic racism in the workplace and legal system, and how the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help individuals differentiate between ”young parts” driven by childhood programming and ”adult parts” capable of courageous advocacy
Whether you are looking for practices to stay grounded in emotionally charged moments or seeking to become a more trustworthy ally, this conversation offers a roadmap for cultivating resilience and hope for future generations
