In this episode of Head and Heart Work Conversations, Sierra and Sam talk with Tonya Ingram, poet, author, speaker, and mental health advocate. Tonya has graced the stages of The Getty Museum, Madison Square Garden, San Francisco Opera House, and “The Price is Right”, the online and physical pages of The New York Times, Vice i-D, Bustle, and Marie Claire, and the classrooms of schools in the United States and Ghana. Her viral collaboration with BuzzFeed, “An Open Letter to My Depression,” has reached over 4 million views and counting. The conversation covers living (and dating) with a chronic illness, self-care, and cultivating community.
