Hosted by Rev. Dr. Aliah MaJon
Rev. Dr. Aliah K. MaJon, an evolutionary and racial healing champion, is known for her transformational work with those facing future-defining crossroads, major loss, and the disadvantage of a traumatic background. Her methodologies are informed by firsthand experience from growing up in the inner city of Detroit and from losing her only child to suicide.
Dr. Aliah believes that one of the greatest hindrances to the success of disenfranchised populations in the United States is our country’s history of the racial divide. Seeking to change this, she made a commitment to harness her decades of experience addressing bias and inequality as a diversity trainer, educational consultant, United Nations delegate, facilitator of citizen-police dialogues, and the creator of racial healing Brain Trusts.
Dr. Aliah is the founder of the Next 50 Years Project, where she focuses on teaching cultural intelligence to educational leaders, and on pioneering tools that build bridges across human differences. She also proudly holds a trademark for a groundbreaking coaching methodology called SOUL TECHNOLOGY®, in which she introduces people to the “other half of their intelligence” and demystifies what it means to benefit from inner knowing.
