Yesterday was Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 🧡

Long before the United States existed, Indigenous peoples across the Americas had thriving communities, rich cultural traditions, and deep connections to their ancestral lands.

Colonization brought forced displacement, broken treaties, cultural erasure, and generations of trauma. These injustices are not simply history; their effects continue to impact Indigenous communities today.

But Indigenous history is not defined by oppression. It is also a history of resilience, resistance, cultural preservation, and survival.

At Psyches of Color, we recognize that radical healing requires acknowledging historical harm, honoring cultural identity, and working toward collective liberation. Honoring Indigenous peoples means moving beyond acknowledgment toward meaningful action, solidarity, and respect for Indigenous sovereignty.

Yesterday was a day of recognition. Every day is an opportunity to listen, learn, honor, and act. ❤️‍🩹

POC Fam! Let’s clear some things up😊

Mental health struggles don’t discriminate, but access to care, cultural understanding, and freedom from stigma often do. For too long, silence has been passed down as strength in our communities. It’s time to rewrite that.

Swipe through to see some of the biggest myths we’ve internalized and the facts that can help us (and the people we love) actually get support.

Healing isn’t a betrayal of where you come from. Sometimes it’s how you honor it.

Tag someone who needs to see this, and save it for later!

Members of the POC Leadership team recently came together for a POC Virtual Social that felt more like a virtual sleepover! They played games and played question games that allowed the team to learn more about each other. Everyone agreed that they left feeling closer, normalized, and enlightened! We have another virtual social coming up for individuals in the LGBTQ community! Another vibe is coming on Saturday, October 24th from 10:00a-11:30a!!!! Rsvp now!🤗

Hair is culture, identity, personal expression, and community!

Across Black and Brown communities, hair traditions have carried stories of family, heritage, creativity, resistance, pride, and belonging.

Whether it’s a fresh cut, a protective style, a new look or time spent together in the chair, these practices can become powerful forms of connection and care.

At our 2nd Annual Psyches of Color Mental Wellness Day, our self-care artists celebrated that connection and cultural heritage by providing hair braiding, haircuts, hair washing at no cost to the public.

Stay tapped in with us for more exciting cultural events and ways to connect!✨

¡Viva México!

Today we celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day, honoring the history, resilience, culture, and communities that have shaped Mexico’s story.

On September 16, we commemorate the beginning of Mexico’s fight for independence from Spanish colonial rule in 1810, sparked by El Grito de Dolores.

From mariachi and traditional dance to food, art, family, and community, Mexican culture continues to thrive and inspire generations around the world.

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia de México!
