Dr. Sará King on Unifying Education, Neuroscience, and Anthropology

The Cohort Sistas Podcast

What if you could bridge the gap between diverse fields like education, neuroscience, and anthropology, and then use those insights to create spaces for healing and thriving? Dr. Sará King, a trailblazer with three Ph.D.s from UCLA, has done just that. She shares her inspiring journey, her explorations into alternative education methods, and her groundbreaking work with MindHeart Consulting and MindHeart Collective. Her transformative concept of Libertory Technology is something you won't want to miss.
Dr. King's story takes an even deeper turn as she reveals the influences shaping her academic pursuits. The belief of her family in education as liberation and spiritual responsibility laid the foundation. However, her academic journey wasn't without its hardships. She navigated the challenging environment of a doctoral program at UCLA, and later battled depression and anxiety while being a young black single mother. The insights she shares about building relationships in academic circles, dealing with mentor departures, and amplifying diverse voices in academia will inspire and empower.
The final leg of our journey with Dr. King leads us into the future, with her research on contemplative AI. A product of her lived experience and passion for social justice, she envisions it as a tool for promoting well-being and liberation. Listen in as she discusses the power of perseverance and the impact of representation in higher education. This episode packs a punch with powerful insights for anyone interested in education, neuroscience, anthropology, and the intersections of these fields.
