I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!
Unlearning through grief
|
Reader, Grief. Grief and more grief. Grief is the thing. When we commit to decolonial healing, we cannot bypass grief. We can’t skip over the ache, the heaviness, the heartbreak that comes when we finally see what colonialism, capitalism, and oppression have taken from us, and from the people we serve. Decolonial grief is not a side note in the work. It is the work. Grief is the teacher that helps us unlearn and deprogram what no longer serves us—internally, relationally, collectively. It invites us to notice the gaps, the absences, the places where we’ve been surviving without what we truly needed. When we move through grief -not past it, but with it- we begin to sense what we need instead, we unlearn. And in that noticing, there is possibility. Possibility for more aligned care, more honest relationships, more liberatory ways of being with one another. As therapists, healers, helpers, and space holders, this is essential to model. Not that we “have it all together,” not that we’ve neatly resolved our pain, but that we are in the ongoing, messy, necessary work of grieving. That we let our grief guide us toward the future we want to help build. Grief is healing. Grief is resistance. Grief is decolonial healing work. 🪞 Reflection Prompts for Journaling

Reader, A quick update on what I've been up to: 🛋️ The Practice of Liberation, a slower, more intimate space where I share how I’m decolonizing my work, my relationships, and myself in real time.This space grew from the same heart as Liberatory Letters, but moves at a gentler, more vulnerable rhythm — one that centers practice, reflection & the person, not just the profession.It’s for those of us ready to live liberation, not just think about it.You can learn more about it in the P.S. below...
