When I had the vision to focus my activist energy on holistic health, it was a very personal decision. I was diagnosed with hypertension and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. I was stressed out, burnt out and depleted from fighting many battles with very little financial resources and tangible hands-on support.

Some of you witnessed and joined our efforts to cultivate a more equitable and safe community when we did work as 805 Resistance. Thank you for that.

As we are now focused on holistic healing for the Black diaspora we hope that our supporters understand how critical the medical disparities are within the Black community as a direct result of systematic medical racism, experimention and discrimination.Partner with us to give those needing the services, access to Black health care professional's aka healers.

💬Have you noticed our trending topic yet?
🌟 🌟because the black community has faced generations of injustices, abuse, discrimination, not to mention any personal experiences that also attribute to the added trauma. Within the community, it’s unlikely to have familiar support and outsource resources for mental illnesses, disorders, or even treatments. A lot of POC families face the struggle with accepting these newly found disorders, but they are much more complex than JUST a diagnosis. These disorders debilitate the person, and with a lack of resources, the person’s overall physical health can begin to take a toll. 😣
What can we do? 🧐
📌 Treatment! There are multiple routes for PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, etc. that include the western treatment (via therapeutic treatment and/or medication management) however, we are aware of the weariness of judgement for medical treatment, so as an alternative we list these options:
- Reiki, Yoga, Acupuncture 🧘🏾‍♂️
- Massage Therapy 💆🏿‍♀️
- Relaxation techniques 😶‍🌫️😮‍💨
- and most importantly, REST. 💤
(There are still other options these are just listed for examples; others can include: exercise, hobbies, etc.)
Finding out information regarding our past or current reality can be detrimental to ourselves if we don’t take care of our mind. As much as the body needs a break from physical labor, the mind needs a break from the anxiety, overthinking, stress, triggers, etc. from our lives, and there are many many ways to manage our mental health. 🧠
We truly love and appreciate all our supporters and encourage you to contact professional help whether it be medically or holistic ❤️
We cannot change the past but we can take control of our future.
