Sharing some people you must follow

These are some of the people I started following this year. They’re far from being your traditional therapy resource. None of them are therapists (in the Western sense), but they are IMHO amazing healers and educators with lived experience and attuned to their communities.

This is one that made me think the most: Why We Should Stop Saying “Underrepresented” by N. Chloé Nwangwu Why?...
