Self Healing (Issue One) by Yellow Pearls

issue one: self healing

Reach within and acknowledge the intersecting oppressions you experience and how it may affect your mental health.

Read mini-lessons about the radical roots of Asian American identity, Black feminist tradition that has guided Asian American feminism, and mental health statistics.

Listen to an interview with kwonyin, a Korean American emotional guide as she talks about her relationship with mental health and her journey to becoming a healing guide for Asian femmes.

And to integrate all of the lessons and wisdom, try the cathartic Mirror Ritual created by kwonyin.
