i'm half in half out from hiatus. but i will always be here to remind you that mental health is a spectrum. chemical imbalance theory is used by the mental health enterprise to justify the oppression of mad & neurodivergent folks. as if there is an ideal neurochemistry. there isn't. we are none of us imbalanced. we are all beautifully diverse organisms navigating a destablizing & unbalancing time.

Posted @withregram • @liberatedtransitions Due t Posted @withregram • @liberatedtransitions Due to a death in the family, all liberated transitions workshops, including Magical Depressive Realism: The Metaphysics of Mad Liberation, are postponed indefinitely as of now. I will also be taking an indefinite hiatus from social media.

Thank you for your understanding and care.

eighteen years ago my furry orange bundle of love came into this world, and fifteen years ago he came into my life. we have been inseparable ever since. he has been my rock, my source of support through so many huge life changes. he might be a cat, but he is my son. our son. 

one week ago today, we had to let zuri go.

i don't know how to live without him.

Synthesizing sociological theory, Black feminism, Afrofuturism, queer theory, and magic, MAGICAL DEPRESSIVE REALISM: THE METAPHYSICS OF MAD LIBERATION is a six-hour, three-part workshop series that lays out the case for mad & neurodivergent realities overthrowing consensus reality, a framework for living based on the biosociometaphysical model of madness. Part 1: Ingredients introduces the theoretical foundation of the framework; Part 2: Principles describes some of its key assertions; and Part 3: Practices outlines some of the ways magical depressive realism can manifest in daily life.

2 years later & there’s less handwringing on my 2 years later & there’s less handwringing on my part but not much else has changed. people are still dying and our leaders are still flailing and failing.

it’s just soul-crushing & beyond disappointing how we’ve strayed so far from what could have been during this pandemic. by once again pretending the pandemic is over, society has completely abandoned vulnerable folks like myself who are still mostly avoiding non-household members & even more so those folks who can’t risk leaving the house at all. & now they are classifying prolonged grief as a disorder to further press home the reality that mass death & disablement is acceptable—desirable, even—for a functioning state. 

i am traumatized by the last two years. i am still grieving. & i didn’t lose anyone close to me. we are not so separate as we think.

When you find yourself on the precipice of a new way of being, it’s time to consult a transition doula. 

Life’s crossroads are a perfect time to pause and take stock of how our legacy is unfolding. And if we don’t like what we see, while we’re still alive is the perfect time to adjust course. Why wait until the end of life to think about what we’re leaving behind?

In Black diasporic and worldwide Indigenous cultures, we have long celebrated transitions beyond the chronocisheteronormative milestones colonial culture venerates. As a transition doula, I honor my culture by helping you honor your change process. I honor my ancestors and yours by nudging you towards living life to be remembered well. I know from experience that the liminal periods of life can be opportunities for wild growth and healing. Growth and healing that we can see manifest in collective growth and healing if we are willing to put in the work.

So honor each and every transition. Allow this time to open you to new wisdom and understanding. Resist the shame associated with reaching out to your networks for support. And if you don’t have support networks, we can build them together.

Book your free consultation today and let’s shape your change together.
