Excited to announce I’m accepting a doctoral student @ #UCSB #CCSP! If you’re passionate about wellness in Black and Multiracial communities and training in African-centered healing, my research and healing collective may be a great fit. Apply by 11/15! #BlackMentalHealth #PhD

You’re a cycle breaker - generational cycles are fading in your lifetime. Embrace your new life. Give thanks. You’ve outgrown the former model.
