One thing that I spend a lot of time on is caring for my house plants, it feels grounding and my home is filled with sweet green. I'm also passionate about herbalism and have been taking a 9-month course on growing and making herbal medicines.

To form a radical collective private practice that prioritizes community based, transformative justice oriented work within the Black and brown queer / trans community. I want to focus on creating a holistic approach to trauma healing for my community by learning skills through this program but also through learning about herbalism, meditation, traditional african spirituality, and community care models. Ideally, the practice would involve some sort of reparations model that will allow me to provide free or low cost therapy to activists and to Black trans folks. I'm excited to learn more skills in the next two years that will make this dream possible and make me a more confident healer. This semester, I'm especially excited about role plays and opportunities to expand my community.

I am a member of a Black queer /trans Housing Reparations Dreaming Group where we support one another in radical dreaming of collective / communal housing and community building, centering Black queer, trans, fat, dark-skinned, hood femmes. I currently do work as part of the Black Visioning Group that communicates those dreams to, and guides and supervises, an accomplice group of white and non-Black poc to organize around making those housing dreams come true (raising funds, finding co-signers etc.). I also do mutual aid work, started a crisis response group, and am currently in the beginning stages of building an accountability group with other Biracial and light-skinned Black folks to do accountability work and unlearning work around colorism.

Getting too caught up in the institution and disconnected from my community-based healing framing. Becoming overwhelmed with University norms and expectations and having that negatively impact my mental health and wellbeing again in year 2.
