Teachings

My personal work of breaking through self-limiting beliefs and behaviors combined with a deep belief that all people are one family serve as the foundation for my professional work and teaching. I hope the words contained in these teachings will speak to you right where you are, and lead you to hear the voice of Divine Spirit within you.

  • Love Like You've Never Been Hurt

    Love Like You've Never Been Hurt interweaves psychology, spirituality, and real-life stories to help you heal from “love-hurt” – the pain that comes when you have been hurt by someone you love.

    With insights into why we hurt those we love, why we respond to being hurt in the ways we do, and most of all, how to heal from the love-hurts we experience, reading this book will feel like you are engaged in a conversation meant just for you.

  • For The Least of These

    For the Least of These explores two critical questions for spiritually-oriented communities: 1) Has your religious/spiritual community been talking about being more welcoming and inclusive, but keeps getting stuck in power struggles? 2) Has your faith community or organization been engaged in social action, yet the staff or members of your organization feel marginalized and excluded?

    For the Least of These is filled with practical case studies and discussion tips to explore these questions and enable communities to move to deeper levels of genuine welcome, hospitality and justice.

  • Still Got Game

    Carlton "Moto" Greene was a superstar athlete on the basketball courts of New York City, poised for the NBA, recruited by the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks. What happened is just short of tragic as so much promise spiraled into chaos and loss. But there is redemption and new possibilities as Greene rediscovers his focus and drive for the sport he loves, pivots and transforms his many blocked shots into a winning season and so can you. With a few key plays, Greene in collaboration with Dr. Cari Jackson, shows you insightful plays for getting back in the game.

  • Sisters in Mourning

    Sisters in Mourning

    Seven women from diverse racial, cultural, and religious traditions with differing sexual orientations and life experiences became seven "sisters in mourning," meeting to share their grief and to remember together--not only their mothers but themselves as daughters.

    This book is a rich compilation of narratives that emerged through vulnerable conversations--a spiritual, emotional, and existential exploration of the complexities of caring and grieving.

  • The Gift to Listen, The Courage to Heal

    The Gift to Listen, The Courage to Hear interweaves listening techniques with spiritual principles of “soul listening” that enable self-discovery, healing and fuller living.

    Using real-life stories, Dr. Cari explores common causes of communication breakdowns and provides practical strategies for moving toward communication breakthroughs.

  • For the Souls of Black Folks

    For the Souls of Black Folks examines the impact of black religious culture in shaping the ethical values and sociopolitical condition of U.S. blacks.

    Building upon the work of sociologist, W. E. B. Du Bois, who highlighted the presence of a double consciousness in the collective psyche of blacks stemming from racial oppression, For the Souls of Black Folks explores the ways in which black preaching often socializes black Christians to subjugate their own moral authority to that of black preachers.
