  • Healing is a Social Justice Issue

    Within a society that is anti-wellness, it’s not enough to avoid talking about social justice issues. Healing is more than just self-love quotes and breathing exercises. It’s a deep introspective look into the social ills that are the causes of people’s pain and distress. “We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating…
