“We are actors in a shared culture.”

In her book, White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo discusses the fundamental tie we all have to racism and other forms of systemic oppression. When we can see oppression as a global process, we come to realize we all swim in the same water of oppression and breathe the same air of oppression. At Liberate and Heal Consulting, we believe everyone is bound by systems of oppression, but we are also bound by our journey to liberate and heal. For this reason, we are committed to holding spaces to engage in this work and humanize our experiences. Additionally, through training and consultation we can support the exploration and growth of ourselves as individuals and collective communities serving those around us.

We define healing as both awareness and action to counteract oppression we have been subjected to – including ways in which we oppress ourselves. Healing can be done individually and in safe spaces where we outline and break cycles of oppression through unpacking harm and processing it, because as Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Liberate and Heal Consulting serves to humanize our experiences as an act of resistance in the world we live in.

We hope to connect with you soon!
