Leah is — among many things — a psychotherapist, liberation collaborator, and anti-oppressive relational strategist. Our conversation was so potent and so healing that it went long and will be published in two parts. Leah speaks from an intricate understanding of human psychology, the way our bloodlines and the land shape us, and the systems of oppression that have caused harm to us all. She has a profound understanding of colonialism and the way colonialism perpetuates separation — separation from ourselves, each other, and the land. She encourages us all to find stability and strength as we engage in resistance work and emphasizes community-generated knowledge and the wisdom and truth of storytelling. 

If you already follow Leah on IG, you know how her words are medicine to the soul. These two episodes are such a gift during this heartbreaking and horrific time so that we can keep up our collective fight for the liberation of all.
