I'M STILL HEALING
(And So Are You)
A book, a framework, and a healing-centered initiative for individuals, organizations, and institutions
NOW AVAILABLE
I’M STILL HEALING (And So Are You) is more than a book. It is a personal journey through trauma, accountability, growth, and transformation.
Written by Demetris Knuckles El, this book speaks to individuals who have experienced pain, loss, incarceration, violence, or emotional struggle—and reminds them that healing is possible.
This book serves as the foundation of the STILL HEALING Initiative and introduces readers to the principles that guide the program.
Whether you are beginning your healing journey or continuing the process, this book offers reflection, encouragement, and hope.
Healing is not a destination. Healing is a journey. And many of us are still healing.
THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL

Healing is not a destination. It is a process.
