My goal at this event, as a vendor (who actually wasn’t selling anything) was to provide mental health tips and resources. For me, this was a treat because minorities have been left out of the mental health conversation. If a POC wants help I often get the question, “Where do I go?” “What do I do?” On this day, I answered those questions. I got cards of other therapists that I know. I handed out stress balls, mindfulness technique cards, and lists of online search engines to look for therapists. I also provided other community resources and answered all other mental health related questions. Trap Yoga Bae is such an inspiration. She curated an inclusive space, for people to do yoga (that’s for the culture), network, and provided an opportunity for local vendors to sell their goods. This was such a magical day and I am so happy that I was asked to play a small part in it.
