  • Healing in Public: Mark Tuggle on Trauma, Transformation, and Revolutionary Connection

    Healing in Public: Mark Tuggle on Trauma, Transformation, and Revolutionary Connection
    2025/10/02

    What does it mean to transform private pain into public purpose?In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of The Revolutionary Social Work Podcast, hosts Professor Ace and Alicia are joined by author and educator Mark Tuggle for a revolutionary conversation about trauma, healing, and the lifelong work of becoming whole.Mark shares his journey—from childhood abuse, addiction, and a diagnosis of HIV to his emergence as a mentor, writer, and advocate for mental health. Together, they explore the role of therapy, community, and spiritual practice in creating lives rooted in self-love, truth, and connection. The episode interrogates dominant norms that silence emotional expression, especially for Black men, and lifts up the everyday rituals that sustain healing—from Central Park therapy sessions to kitchen-table conversations.This is a dialogue about courage, contradiction, and choosing to live. It’s about naming what hurts... and what helps. It’s about building a practice of care that isn’t constrained by diagnosis, institutions, or identity boxes.Revolutionary social work doesn’t just ask how we serve.It asks: how do we connect? How do we transform? How do we love?Chapters:00:00 – Intro + Theme 02:24 – Mark Tuggle’s Journey: From Trauma to Transformation 05:04 – The Role of Community and Therapy in Healing 07:50 – Therapy Beyond the Therapy Room: Holistic Approaches 10:39 – The Importance of Connection in a Digital Age 13:29 – Loneliness in a Connected World 16:24 – Expressing Emotion and Reclaiming Humanity 19:09 – The Impact of Childhood Experiences on Adult Life 21:46 – The Power of Vulnerability and Shared Experiences 24:28 – Challenging Social Norms and Emotional Expectations 26:48 – Emancipating the Mind: The Journey of Self-Discovery 35:01 – The Challenge of Change 38:56 – Navigating Self-Care and Societal Expectations 44:08 – Revolutionary Social Work: A New Paradigm 50:03 – Courage and Change: Leading by Example 1:02:29 – Navigating Spirituality and Religion 1:04:47 – The Dichotomy of Belief Systems 1:07:19 – Cultural Expectations and Personal Identity 1:09:36 – The Power of Dialogue and Listening 1:12:46 – Revolutionary Social Work and Community Healing 1:13:58 – Documenting the Journey of Black Men 1:18:26 – Closing Thoughts and Future ConnectionsKeywords:Mark Tuggle, trauma, healing, transformation, therapy, connection, community, vulnerability, storytelling, identity, emotions, spirituality, dialogue, holistic health, personal growth, revolutionary social work, self-care, disconnection, change, cultural affirmation, mental health, truth-telling📚 About Mark Tuggle:Mark Tuggle is the author of Cultural Silence and Wounded Souls: Black Men Speak About Mental Health, a groundbreaking anthology that lifts the voices of Black men confronting trauma, isolation, and emotional silencing.

  • Liberation Social Work & Revolutionary Love | Brotha KD Kyle Toon

    Liberation Social Work & Revolutionary Love | Brotha KD Kyle Toon
    2025/09/11

    In this episode of the Revolutionary Social Work Podcast, Alicia and Ace are joined by Brotha KD Kyle Toon — father, veteran, and Afrocentric Liberation Social Worker. Founder of Mental & Creative Liberation LLC, Brotha KD brings forward a practice rooted in ancestry, Afrocentric healing, and revolutionary love. Through his Gracefully Imperfect podcast, CREATIVST, and Soul Medicine Substack, he creates soul-centered spaces for Black empowerment, cultural reclamation, and collective wellness.

    This dialogue traces his journey from military service to liberation work, highlighting how family values, ancestral knowledge, and the pursuit of self-knowledge transform social work practice. We explore how Liberation Social Work and Revolutionary Social Work intersect: both are value-based frameworks calling us to disrupt alienation, uproot oppression, and center healing, kinship, and consciousness as the foundation for societal transformation.

    Liberation Social Work: Three Pillars

    Self & Community Healing: Addressing ancestral, historical, and intergenerational wounds.

    Self-Knowledge: The enduring process of “knowing thyself” as a path to reclaiming dignity and purpose.

    Social, Cultural, and Critical Consciousness: Anchoring liberation in ancestral wisdom, cultural worldview, and ethical practice.

    Together, these pillars resonate deeply with Revolutionary Social Work values of kinship, reflection, and love as praxis. Liberation Social Work insists on returning to source — to culture, soul, and Divine oneness — as the grounding for humanization and collective freedom.

    This episode calls us to remember: revolution is not an event but a continuous re-socialization. Healing and transformation begin within, extend to family and community, and ripple across generations.
