In this first episode, Dr. Carmela Maxell introduces

herself — not just the credentials, but the human

underneath them. A clinician, author, professor,

director, mother, and Black and Filipino woman who has been

carrying a lot and finally decided to say something

about it out loud.

This episode covers who Dr. Maxell is beyond her

titles, what Rooted and Rising is (and isn't), the

publication of her debut novel Bereavement, and why

done and imperfect will always beat perfect and

silent.

For the healers who need healing. The strong ones

who are tired of being strong. The creatives who've

been told to be practical. Welcome to Rooted and

Rising.
