A counsellor-in-training shares what it felt like to present migratory grief research to intercultural practitioners in Valencia — and the hug that followed.
Black American here. 🙋🏾 We exist on Earth in specific ways.
Less stress in other countries that are not the United States, but with a multifaceted hum of both Blackness and Americaness embuing our interactions with new peoples and cultures.
Thank you for naming this so clearly, Mahlena. It came up in my data and in that room in Valencia too, and it's something I want to sit with and address properly, with the care and nuance it deserves, especially as someone who's done inclusion work myself. Would love to explore this further with you sometime, whether that's an interview or just an ongoing conversation, whenever it feels right.
