Language and Mental Wellness

With gratitude and respect, I acknowledge that I am on the traditional territories of the Coahuiltecan, Tonkawa , Sana, Lipan Apache, Jumanos, and Comanche Peoples and Land. I recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous people on this land, upon which I am privileged to be able to live, work, and play.

As a 1.5 generation immigrant, brought here by my parents as a child, I have been afforded the privileges of traveling and settling safely. Many Indigenous people were violently removed from their native lands. Colonialism and White supremacy have led to the redistribution and hoarding of wealth and resources harvested from these lands that were once nurtured by the various Indigenous people. These injustices are still present and growing today.

There is no collective liberation without Black reparations and Indigenous LandBack.
