Letter to My Dear White Friend

We are living through a time of great exposure of pain and suffering as a result of a 400+ year history of a society built on an un-even playing field for its members. While this uneven playing field exists for gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, class, education level, nationality, primary language, etc., I am going to center my reflection on the uneven playing field for Race- Racism- and mental health, which has been stigmatized.

The Insidious Problem of Microaggressions

How do we address an enemy that is hard to identify, call out, and stop…the answer lies in understanding our unconscious bias.

Pride & Juneteenth: A Pause for Post-Traumatic Growth

These observances acknowledge moments in history when systems of oppression were challenged to change. They highlight both significant trauma in our country's fabric and the resilience that grew out of it. Trauma contributes to mental health challenges, including mental illness and suicidal ideation.
