The Jackfruit Project is a sub program of Mango Tree Counseling and Consulting focusing on masculinity, shame, and resilience for gay, bi, q***r men. Unresolved hurts have a way of haunting us in the here and now. Toxic masculinity sometimes finds itself in partners, in fantasies, and sometimes in our own relationship with ourselves.

More about Alex: Bio: I am a q***r, nonbinary, second-generation Filipinx American from Philadelphia, PA. Formerly an animation professional, I left the industry for multiple reasons and decided to pursue therapy as a social worker after various experiences with different grassroots and social justice organizations.

Some of my clinical interests include identity development for QTPOC, kink, non-monogamy, and polyamory, online community identity and dynamics; navigating disability; unpacking fatphobia and beauty standards; sustainability and burnout; boundaries, and anxiety and depression management.

Sometimes the fall season can bring about a blah energy - maybe it's school, changing season, sun set time...or depression.

One self-management tip is to evaluate the energy that your space is giving. Planning small chores daily can help with re-finding your flow and routine.

Here is how our director Dr. Noel B Ramirez feels about fear... "Name the parts of you that find expression in fear. We all have it. For me, I think about scarcity and anxiety inherited by parents and grandparents who experienced war, colonization, and the trauma of immigration. Parts of my fear is from the will to survive. Sometimes this is helpful. Other times it’s restrictive. Having a relationship with my fear helps me create boundaries and understanding. Without this relationship, it’s a “whatever” feeling…tucked away…not processed…which will freeze me in my place. What’s your fear made of?"
