She read my diary. It feels better hearing someone else read it than having to write it.

[StopChicago]

Thanks so much for launching this. We at STOP in Chicago (Southside Together Organizing for Power) and the Mental Health Movement very much want to connect with you and host an event with you if you ever come through the Midwest. We are in a life-and-death fight to save our city's public mental health clinics right now, which primarily serve black and brown folks in this city and are the only safe place for many of us. Please email us MentalHealthMovement@gmail.com so we can connect.

I am a therapist intern at a domestic violence shelter, and I just learned about this project through an email from blogalicious. I just subscribed.
