Intersectionality in the Diaspora

A reflection and affirmation by Clara on anti-blackness for those of us in diaspora, our white allies and those embarking on anti-racism as a practice.

Welcome back to round 3 of Mental Health in the Diaspora. Today we discuss how boundaries intersect with our mental health and the impacts of having (or not having) them play a role in our growth. CW: depression, eating disorders, family dynamics

Welcome back to our Mental Health conversation, where we’ll continue to navigate how mental health has impacted our lives and the patterns we’ve observed within our communities. We’ll discuss the disparity between physical and mental health, what access to these services look like for us and how we learned to cope and care for ourselves during difficult times. CW: depression, self-harm, death, alcoholism and eating disorders.

Welcome to our very first conversation on intersectionality in the diaspora. This month we’ll be focusing on Mental Health and the ways BIPOC communities are affected. We’ll start with an intimate look at how mental health was (or wasn’t) present in our household and the impacts that it made in our lives.
