Are you wanting to support BIPOC wellness this new year? If so, I encourage you to consider donating $15 a month this year to DMHS. Last year alone DMHS covered 800+ wellness services for the BIPOC community. This is life-changing work, and I invite you to become part of it! Donating link in bio

Unfortunately, donors are not currently prioritizing funding mental health and our free therapy fund is under-funded.

When we support our community we are investing in the community we are and hope to be part of — one that cares for each other.

Please support and share so that we can continue to do this work of healing together. 💛🌻

¿Quieres apoyar el bienestar de las personas BIPOC este nuevo año? Si es así, te animo a que consideres donar $15 al mes a DMHS. Solo el año pasado, DMHS brindó más de 800 servicios de bienestar a la comunidad BIPOC. Esta labor transforma vidas, ¡y te invito a que formes parte de ella! Encontrarás el enlace para donar en mi perfil.

Lamentablemente, los donantes no están priorizando la financiación de la salud mental en este momento, y nuestro fondo para terapia gratuita no cuenta con los recursos suficientes.

Cuando apoyamos a nuestra comunidad, estamos invirtiendo en la comunidad de la que formamos parte y de la que esperamos seguir formando parte, una comunidad que se preocupa por los demás.

Por favor, apoya y comparte para que podamos seguir realizando esta labor de sanación juntxs.💛🌻

I’m so grateful and humbled to be appointed on the DRW’s Mental Health Advisory Council.

I plan on using my lived experiences, professional experiences w/ clients, and family experience of mental health disabilities within the council for disability justice.

Did you know that

-people living with mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed by police
-involuntary hospitalization and incarceration can INCREASE the risk of su***de.
-BIPOC folks are more likely to get diagnosis with “stigmatizing” diagnosis that impacted public perception, treatment, and access.
-Racial and gender bias has historically existed in the mental health system misdiagnosising BIPOC and/or strategically mis-diagnosising to justify incarcerating political activists during the Civil Rights area and throughout history

This is why is so important.

Thank you thank you for the opportunity to advocate for my community.

Me siento muy agradecida y honrada de haber sido nombrada miembro del Consejo Asesor de Salud Mental de DRW.

Planeo utilizar mis propias experiencias, tanto personales como profesionales, y la experiencia de mi familia con las discapacidades de salud mental dentro del consejo para promover la justicia para las personas con discapacidad.

¿Sabías que?

- Las personas que viven con enfermedades mentales tienen 16 veces más probabilidades de morir a manos de la policía.
- La hospitalización y el encarcelamiento involuntarios pueden AUMENTAR el riesgo de suicidio.
- Las personas BIPOC (negras, indígenas y de color) tienen más probabilidades de recibir diagnósticos estigmatizantes que afectan la percepción pública, el tratamiento y el acceso a la atención.
- El sesgo racial y de género ha existido históricamente en el sistema de salud mental, lo que ha llevado a diagnósticos erróneos de personas BIPOC y/o a diagnósticos estratégicamente incorrectos para justificar el encarcelamiento de activistas políticos durante la era de los Derechos Civiles y a lo largo de la historia.

Por eso la y la son tan importantes.

Gracias por la oportunidad de abogar para mi comunida

Grateful to have reconnect with these two! 💛

UW Instructor Zach Lynch invited me and our friend Jenn Gosar last Friday to his 500 ethics class. I got to talk about my career and organizing trajectory from the UW MSW program to now having a small group practice committed to Healing Justice and Liberation work. It was such a gift to reflect and share out and have engaged students ask questions!

If anyone wants me to come speak at their class or organization, I’m taking appointments. 🥰

¡Estoy muy agradecida de haberme reencontrado con estas dos personas! 💛

El viernes pasado, el profesor Zach Lynch de la Universidad de Washington nos invitó a mí y a nuestra amiga Jenn Gosar a su clase de ética para estudiantes de posgrado. Pude hablar sobre mi trayectoria profesional y mi experiencia en organización comunitaria, desde el programa de Maestría en Trabajo Social de la UW hasta mi práctica privada actual que esta omprometidos con la justicia reparadora y el trabajo de liberación. Fue un verdadero placer reflexionar, compartir mi experiencia y responder a las preguntas de los estudiantes.

Si alguien desea que dé una charla en su clase u organización, estoy disponible para programar citas. 🥰

We have heard/witnessed from BIPOC service providers/politicized healers that they are experiencing/are at the verge of burnout due to rising community needs and the lack of support for their own well-being.

That is why I’ve started the People’s Free Therapy Fund with the support of micro grant. This initiative is providing free, culturally responsive therapy for local BIPOC service providers/ politicized healers. The purpose of The People’s Free Therapy fund is to increase the well-being of historically harmed and excluded communities by caring for the caregivers—ensuring that those who sustain our community’s resilience have access to the healing they need.

If this work speaks to you, please share and encourage people to stay tuned. We’ll be sharing how to support our work soon! *currently full*

Hemos escuchado/presenciado testimonios de profesionales de servicios y sanadores politizados BIPOC que experimentan o están al borde del agotamiento debido a las crecientes necesidades de la comunidad y la falta de apoyo para su propio bienestar.

Por eso creé el Fondo de Terapia Gratis para el Pueblo Con el apoyo de la microbeca de la Fundación . Esta iniciativa ofrece terapia gratuita y cultural me te apropiada para profesionales de servicios y sanadores politizados BIPOC locales. El propósito del Fondo de Terapia Gratuita para la Comunidad es mejorar el bienestar de las comunidades históricamente marginadas y excluidas, apoyando a quienes cuidan, y asegurando que quienes sostienen la resiliencia de nuestra comunidad tengan acceso a la sanación que necesitan.

Si este trabajo te resuena, compártelo e invita a otros a mantenerse al tanto. ¡Pronto compartiremos cómo apoyar nuestro trabajo! *Actualmente lleno*

🌀 if know me closely, you know about my mother wound. You’ve probably experienced me in one of my turns. Healing the mother wound has been a spiral of space and return… sadness, codependency, anger, distance, understanding, boundaries, self love, compassion, anger, sadness, return…

Having gone the ceremony of birthing, I have experienced yet another spiral of healing.

I am grateful that I can hold the duality of deep gratitude and love for myself and my mom, while also holding tenderly my grief for my younger and adult self for what I can give to my children that my mom could not give to me.

If you’re going through your mother wound healing. You’re not alone. It’s such a natural healthy path of adulthood and parenting. There’s also the not so normal and challenging aspects of it when there’s been violence’s abuse and trauma in the mix.

Hold yourself tenderly.

I know now that boundaries are love and it’s okay for me to take space away so that I may return differently and sometimes it’s also okay to not return. Every situation is different.


This is a poem I wrote and preformed in 2022 when I was experiencing another spiral of my healing.

Healing is many things! As communal folks, we need to make sure we understand that healing extends outside of (and beyond) us. As people committed to liberation work, healing is essential (and a result) of liberation work.

¡Sanar es muchas cosas! Como personas comunitarias, debemos asegurarnos de comprender que la sanación se extiende más allá de nosotros. Como personas comprometidas con el trabajo de liberación, la sanación es esencial (y un resultado) del mismo.

Grateful for .us for putting together the Healing Justice Summit where we got to tend to our grief collectively.

I am taking with me new rituals and knowledge on how to tend to my beautiful grief, and what’s it’s been protecting.

Many thanks to ancestors, Creator, Mother Earth and all the elements for the medicine of today.

Agradecida con .us por organizar la Cumbre de Justicia Sanadora, donde pudimos atender nuestro duelo colectivamente.

Llevo conmigo nuevos rituales y conocimientos sobre cómo atender mi hermoso duelo y lo que ha estado protegiendo.

Muchas gracias a los ancestros, al Creador, a la Madre Tierra y a todos los elementos por la medicina de hoy.
