54 years of lessons, resilience, and growth. I carry the scars and the triumphs, the tears and the laughter, and I’m still standing strong. This year, I’m not just adding another candle—I’m adding more purpose, more joy, and more unapologetic living. Here’s to thriving, not just surviving.

Drop some love below. Tell me your best piece of life wisdom.

Growing up I was a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. It was ever cooler because it was something I shared with my Granny. My cousin Tamala Swift sent me a message today talking about it. I decided to share one of my favorite songs. It's very relevant right now. Happy birthday MJ! There will NEVER be another.

The bittersweet part of supervision is when people complete their hours and move on. I have been so fortunate to have THE BEST group of supervisees every since I began providing supervision in 2008. I currently have a few spots open in my Saturday group. We meet the 2nd and 4th Saturdays virtually. I will be having a Q&A session this Thursday at 7pm CST. Please register at this link https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/t6MCTMO9TFiCNdM5ZrGr2A

Have you completed supervision with me? Please let me and others know what you're doing in the comments.

July is Bebe Moore Campbell BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to focus on the unique strengths and challenges that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) face when it comes to mental health. Bebe Moore Campbell was a journalist, teacher, author, and dedicated mental health advocate for the Black community and other underrepresented groups. BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month was established and named in honor of her work.

Talking about mental health in communities of color means uplifting cultural strengths, honoring healing traditions, and recognizing how resilience is shaped by lived experiences.
including the impacts of racism and generational trauma.

What are some healing traditions in your community?
