NEW SERIES: First Gen Firsts

In preparation for First Gen Conversations on Wednesday, November 4th (link in bio to RSVP on Heylo)

I'm doing a new series called First Gen Firsts!

In this series, I'll highlight some of the things I was the first in my family to do as a first generation college student and graduate.

Today, I talked about going to therapy for the first time.

As a black woman who is also first gen, therapy didn't always feel like an option. I felt like I had to just "keep pushing". But what happens when you physically and mentally can't push anymore?

That's what happened to me. It was at my breaking point, that my college advisor connected me to a therapist because I was on the verge of dropping out because of everything I was secretly holding on to.

Now as a graduate with a degree in social work, I'm a grateful that I chose too be the first in my family to go to therapy. So that I could get the tools and support I needed then and continue to use now.

QUESTION: Who do you go to for support? And when did you learn asking for support was okay?

Finding a therapist is already tough, and a lot of people have to make a difficult decision between finding providers who are in-network with their insurance and finding someone who specializes in the areas they need support around.

This is a systemic issue as many therapists are having to choose between a potential form of accessibility and meeting their own financial needs. Everyone deserves access to therapy that is supportive and meets their needs, and therapists deserve to be compensated for their emotional and often invisible labor as well.

While not a solution, one really great option that addresses both of these challenges is treatment scholarships and therapy funds. These allow therapists to be compensated adequately for their time while also making private pay more accessible to many folks by covering the cost of a number of therapy sessions.

These funds can help offset the costs of therapy and many of them can be applied to more than once, understanding the importance of long-term support and care.

We’ve compiled a list of some treatment scholarships and therapy funds in this post, and hope it gives you a starting place. You can also reach out to your provider about sliding scale or OON benefits, if you aren’t already familiar.

Know of a therapy fund that wasn’t listed here? Comment their information below!

In Seattle, the people need a hug!!! And Healers need healing, too. 🤎 I’m so excited to be part of putting together—and speaking at—Holding the Healers with @therapyfundfoundation ! 🤎🤎🤎

I’ll be joining “The Weight of Holding Community,” a panel exploring the impacts of gun violence, grief, and what it means to keep showing up for others while carrying pain of your own.

I know this well. And as I’ve recently been bullied online by orgs claiming they help the problem, this is even more of a time to get loud and advocate that we all be able to find our joy, heal, and be kind to others. 🤎🤎🤎

We’ll talk about the expectations placed on community leaders, protecting our peace when criticism becomes harm, and a question we need to ask more often: Who holds the people holding everyone else?

This conversation is personal to me. Losing my father to gun violence shaped my life long before I had words for that loss. Today, as a mother and someone who serves community, I know that purpose and pain can live in the same heart. And having the strength to show up doesn’t mean we don’t need support ourselves.

Join us for meaningful conversations, community connection, keynote speaker @joelbervell , and a celebration of this year’s scholarship recipients. Free 15-minute therapist consultations will also be available, with limited spots and registration required.

I’m finally ready to tell my publishing story. 💜📖💛

The book. The tour. The grief. The parts I celebrated, the parts I hated, and the parts I never shared.

If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, wondered what publishing is really like, or had to keep going while grieving, 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴. 𝗜’𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

Part 1. 💛💜

Some places hold your roots and your wounds at the same time. 💜

Tacoma is that place for many of us.

So much love. So much family. And also memories of gunshots, violence, grief, and things we learned to normalize because they were happening all around us. The same realities we still see playing out across Tacoma, Seattle, and our communities today.

We can love Tacoma deeply and still tell the truth about what it meant to survive it.

I talk deeply about this in my book, *The Cost of Healing in Silence*, available everywhere books are sold.

Thank you to Reynelda and Dr. Timmie for joining me in conversation at the Tacoma Library, a place that was a safe haven for me back then. 💜
