This week’s episode of #BlackWomenWednesday was so beautifully in alignment and magical with Mihret of Art & Health and Shop Ayele. We talked about all things the journey of mental health and becoming healers for our communities. Mihret does amazing work, and has the heart to really serve marginalized people by sharing her truth and creating space for others to as well. Was such a treat to see the so many parallels, and pick up on all the gems she had to share!
