Women & Girls

“The Black woman is the most unprotected, unloved woman on earth. … She is the only flower on earth … that grows unwatered.” This quote is by Kola Boof, a Sudanese American novelist. For centuries, Black girls and women have been criminalized, dehumanized, hypersexualized, degraded, objectified and stereotyped.

We focus on the healing of trauma-impacted Women, Girls, and Femmes in a gender-responsive and trauma-specific way. We recognize the healing aspects of mind-body modalities coupled with artistic expression when addressing the harms caused by the criminalization of complex trauma. We are passionate about confronting the deeply embedded racism in educational, child welfare and juvenile and adult court systems.
