July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month.
And we are in mourning once again.

The recent passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner—a voice, a presence, a storyteller deeply rooted in Black artistry—reminds us that even our brightest lights carry burdens we may never see.

His legacy was layered with creativity, depth, and cultural impact. His loss leaves a silence that echoes in homes, hearts, and generations.

As we honor him, we must also turn inward and ask:
How are we really doing?
What grief are we carrying in silence?
Where can we rest, heal, and be held?

At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we are committed to amplifying the voices, pain, and healing of BIPOC communities—not just this month, but every day.

Because mental health is still stigmatized.
Because grief is often unspoken.
Because rest and support are still revolutionary acts.

This month, and in Malcolm’s memory, let’s honor each other by showing up fully:
For our emotions.
For our healing.
For our right to be well.

You are seen. You are sacred. You are not alone.

To the community of Kerr County and Central Texas,

Our hearts are with you.
As rising waters have swept through homes, lives, and sacred memories, we mourn with you—and we stand beside you.

We extend our deepest prayers for the families who have lost loved ones, and for every soul displaced, grieving, or overwhelmed by the weight of this tragedy.

In times like these, it’s hard to find the right words.
But please know this:
You are not alone.
You are not forgotten.
Even in devastation, hope still rises.

At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we believe in the power of community healing and spiritual support in the face of profound loss. Our team is here to provide compassionate grief counseling, trauma-informed care, and safe space to process the emotional toll of this crisis.

If you or someone you know needs support navigating grief, trauma, or emotional overwhelm, please reach out.
Let us hold sacred space for your pain—and your healing.

We are praying for peace.
We are believing in recovery.
And we are here—for you.

With love and solidarity,
Sacred Spaces and Connections

This Independence Day, let’s redefine liberty: the power to seek therapy, to set boundaries, to choose joy. Mental health IS liberation.

🧠💚 “Mental health is a journey, not a destination.”
This Minority Mental Health Month, let’s honor Bebe Moore Campbell’s legacy by committing to whole healing — mind, body, and soul. Your story matters. Your healing matters.
🌿 Cultural strength is not a barrier to healing — it’s the bridge.
Let’s celebrate the resilience and wisdom passed down through generations in Black, Indigenous, and communities of color. Healing honors our ancestors.

✊🏾 Juneteenth: A Sacred Space for Grief and Victory 🕊️

Today, we honor the truth that freedom was delayed—but not denied.

Juneteenth is not just a celebration of liberation. It is a day layered with grief for the ancestors who labored, suffered, resisted, and died—never tasting the freedom we now hold. Their pain is stitched into our DNA, but so is their power.

As a grief strategist, I hold space for the truth that grief and joy can exist at the same time. We can mourn the generational trauma, the systemic injustice, and the lives lost—while still standing in victory. We are the living proof of their prayers, their perseverance, and their unshakable hope.

Today is a day of remembrance, but also of resilience.

Let us not rush past the sorrow. Let us sit with it, learn from it, and rise because of it. Because to be Black in America is to constantly wrestle with grief—and still choose to shine.

🖤 This Juneteenth, we remember.
🟢 We rise.
🔴 We reclaim our joy.
🟣 We honor our healing.

Freedom is sacred. So is grief. So are we.

Grief has a way of sneaking up on you—especially in the body.
Sunday was one of those days.

I didn’t post anything on Father’s Day because I was feeling it deeply. My energy was low. My body felt heavy. That’s the thing about grief—it doesn’t always cry out. Sometimes it just quietly sits in your bones, slowing you down, making space for the ache.

I was missing my daddy, Charles Joseph Thompson. And while the sadness came in like a wave, today I choose to reset. To not just focus on the day he died—but the life he lived. The memories we made. The legacy he left behind.

This is grief, too. The remembering. The honoring. The gentle shift from pain to presence. 💛

If you’re moving through it, know that you’re not alone. Your grief is valid. And your healing can be sacred.

💭 Meaningful Mondays | Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month

This June, let’s make space for the truth we don’t hear often enough:
Men grieve. Men hurt. Men heal.

Too many brothers, fathers, sons, partners, and leaders have been conditioned to suffer in silence—told to “man up” instead of open up.

But strength is not silence.
Resilience is not emotional suppression.
Real healing begins when we honor the full emotional range of every human being.

As a grief strategist and therapist, I’ve sat with men navigating unimaginable loss:
– The death of a parent they never reconciled with
– Losing a job that made them feel like a provider
– The breakdown of relationships they never learned how to express pain within
– Childhood trauma never named, only buried

🛑 Stop asking men to carry grief alone.
🗣️ Start asking, “How’s your heart, brother?”

💜 At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we’re committed to creating safe places for men to process loss, life changes, and emotional fatigue without shame or judgment.

Let’s shift the narrative. Let’s support our men.
Because healing isn’t gendered—it’s human.

We grieve as individuals—but also as communities.
🌍 Collective Grief shows up in times of national tragedy, violence, pandemics, or generational trauma.
As Black and Brown communities, we often carry inherited grief and silence. It’s time to name it—and rise.
💬 Let’s create safe spaces to talk about our collective grief and how we rise beyond it. I’d love to speak with your team or audience.

When grief doesn’t ease over time and interferes with daily life, it may be Complicated Grief.
It often includes trauma, guilt, or unresolved emotions.
You’re not “stuck”—you’re surviving. With the right tools and support, healing is possible.

Anticipatory Grief is the grief we feel before a loss happens—common in situations like terminal illness, memory decline, or big life transitions.
You may feel sadness, guilt, or even detachment as a way of preparing emotionally.
This is grief too. It deserves acknowledgment.
📍 Let’s talk about it—DM me to schedule a session or book me to speak at your organization.
