SUPPORT
For more than three decades, Aishah Shahidah Simmons has used film, writing, and public engagement to break silence around sexual violence and to support survivor-centered healing, accountability, and transformation beyond carceral systems.
Today, her work is centered on teaching Dharma, mindfulness meditation, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), supporting individuals and communities in cultivating the inner conditions for healing and liberation.
This shift is not a departure from her earlier work, but a deepening. Learning to meet our inner lives with clarity and compassion is foundational to how we show up for ourselves, for one another, and for the world, without reproducing harm.
