Sacred Threads: Weaving BIPOC Resilience, Family, and Community

I'm Veronica, and some of the ways I locate myself in space are through my identities and experiences navigating the world within that evolving constellation. Some fixed aspects of Self include grounding in a Black Indigenous Chinese and Caribbean upbringing with a diverse ancestral plane; reconnecting to BIPOC, queer identity in young adulthood; connecting more deeply to nonbinary indigenous identity in adulthood; and reflecting anti-oppressive healing frameworks in my own communities and professional practice to help dismantle the stats on mental health outcomes. We all deserve to feel that we belong and have our wholistic identities celebrated and held by our communities. This group will be a space that threads our experiences into something wondrous this holiday season.
