Tiger Lotus Collective is a wellness centre offering tender loving care and education. We are made up of female practitioners and educators in Montreal passionate about healing in its many forms. We believe the health care system, with its narrow scope of treatments and overburdened hospitals and clinics, is largely unequipped to deal with physical and psychological issues that impact women. We focus on providing a preventative instead of curative model of health care and try to educate females about their bodies and spirits, and how best to care for them in the day-to-day.

Dragonroot had the opportunity to speak with Harleen, one of the three organizers along with Malek Yalaoui, and Dona Nham, behind Unravelling in Rhymes. Unravelling in Rhymes is a monthly workshop series that invites black, indigenous and women and femmes of colour.

Dragonroot had the chance to record the PGSS Equity and Diversity's panel on emotional labour and abuse with Shanice Yarde, Malek Yalaoui and Rachel Zellars.

The conversation explored the intertwined concepts of emotional labour and emotional abuse, with emphasis on their gendered and racialized dimensions. The speakers discussed how emotional labour and emotional abuse function within broader systems of violence, and structure the diverse experiences of Black and Brown women both IRL and URL. This discussion provided critical tools on how to recognize and reckon with these everyday forms of uneven exchange in contemporary contexts of education, (online) activism and interpersonal relationships
