Abstract
ACTS of Liberation is a freedom framework for any educator grappling with mitigating the mental, emotional, social, and spiritual stress (MESS) of higher education. It is a systematic practice developed over a 14-year career in education as a student, teacher, and teacher educator. ACTS is an acronym with roots in African American legacy of liberation through activism, contemplative practice, truth-telling, and soulfulness. Written in the genre of Black Women memoir, this chapter is a transformative narrative about the author's experience as a Black woman matriculating through three stages of higher learning, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies. At each stage, there is an issue (MESS) in the academy, a creative resolution, and application of the ACTS framework.
