Resources

Healing, growth, and transformation can come in many different forms.  On this page, I have included a few resources that may help you on your journey. My hope for you is that you give yourself permission to explore a variety of ways to receive love & support, whether that includes working with me or not. We all need more than one person or one thing to help us maintain our wellness & break free! You're worth it!

"The Parenting Decolonized podcast shines the light on how colonization has impacted the black family structure and what to do about it.
