As a mixed race woman, my traditions, culture and understanding of what healing and health means is constantly evolving. This piece was inspired in my own healing ways, and other people around me who seamlessly integrate western medicine, while respecting and practicing traditional forms of healing. It’s reassurance that we have a choice as people, to heal different parts of ourselves with the many options available in our time, a reminder that healing is personal and medicine and medication can coexist without stigma.
