Who Are Affinity Spaces For?


Reader,

A quick note—honoring my bandwidth…

This Monday, the second Community Liberation Session for BIPoC clinicians took place.

And tomorrow (Thursday), we gather for the second session for white-identified clinicians.

Someone recently asked:

"What space do I join if I’m half white and half BIPoC?

Here’s my answer—one that might help you decide which space to join, and also support you if you’re thinking about offering your own affinity spaces:

who are affinity spaces for?

With care,

Liberatory Letters

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!
