Resource Page

This page is in process & will continue to be updated over time

This resource page includes a mix of podcasts, websites, Instagram accounts, novels, and non-fiction books that I believe can support introspection and healing. I intentionally organized this page to honor the different ways that people receive information. Throughout, I highlight work from Black and Brown authors and creators.

First is a list of support lines, in the event that folks are needing immediate help, followed by a list of therapist directories for folks looking for the right therapist.

Resources

These categories are flexible—none of the resources are solely about gender, sexuality, race, grief, etc. They all have intersections.
