In just under a month we'll be starting our only POC Herbal Freedom School/BIPOC Communiversity session for 2019. I’m excited to say that 19 people have applied and 14 have asked for scholarships or seats in the community-funded communiversity. The majority of these medicine makers of color are chronically ill, disabled and/or living below the poverty line.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I'm happy to say that almost 4 seats have been donated by accomplices and we need your help to<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> raise enough to get another 6 or more amazing BIPOC a seat in the communiversity.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Those who donate $20 or more will get a copy of my new zine Medicina Liberadora (translated to Liberatory Medicine) which comes in a Spanish, English and Spanglish version. If you want a peek into what we do at the Herbal Freedom School…here’s your chance and you’ll get the zine before it’s released at the end of the year. (Be sure to send your email address after donating so you can get your copy).</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Donate and give amazing BIPOC medicine makers the opportunity to be a part of the 6 month Herbal Freedom School/BIPOC Communiversity healing journey, where we’ll be exploring our medicine and rediscovering our power.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
White folks, BIPOC- everyone has the opportunity to contribute!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Support the BIPOC Communiversity’s healing efforts and be an accomplice to our indigenous black and brown communities, and our two spirit, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities because you really ARE supporting us in our healing and liberation. You really ARE making a difference by contributing to the co-creation of this sacred, healing space for indigenous black and brown medicine makers.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, Hello Medicine Makers, </span><br />
<br />
<br />
I'm writing from Borikén/ Puerto Rico where there's not a whole lot of connectivity and some spotty electricity but here I am with an announcement! Spring has arrived and there's exciting news about the Herbal Freedom School this season. We'll be having a 6 month POC Herbal Freedom School/BIPOC Communiversity and we're raising funds for seats. This will be the 3rd iteration of the communiversity and the 6 month online program will give us more time to go even further IN, with 1 month for each of the 6 lessons. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're BIPOC and would like to rock with us, apply here **before Sunday 4/8: <br />
<br />
<a href="https://goo.gl/forms/zvrMeifia1CKOzNy2" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/forms/zvrMeifia1CKOzNy2 </a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There will be a lottery-style drawing for the number of seats that are funded. <br />
<br />
Our goal is to raise $3,000 which will cover 10 community- funded seats. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Please support us by making a contribution to our liberation here: <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to purchase a guaranteed seat, please apply and email herbalfreedomschool@gmail.com for the registration link by 4/8. There will only be 10 seats in our 6 month program so don't sleep on this if this is what you've been waiting for! The next full 6 month program will be in 2019. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2 partial scholarships will be available for Spring 2018. <br />
<br />
*Priority goes to those who have limited ability/ disabilities, those who are chronically ill and/or those who are living at or below the poverty line. If you’re interested in a partial scholarship, email herbalfreedomschool@gmail.com. <br />

Well, guess what- if you purchase (e)zines over at the <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/afrogenderqueer" target="_blank">AfroGenderqueer etsy store</a>, the proceeds will go to relief efforts in PR. I know a number of organizers there helping out some reputable organizations + I want to donate to some QTPOC fam out there who are desperately in need of resources.<br /><br />So, I've discounted the Philosophactivism zines to 4.99 and Philosophactivism 3 (the missing years) just came out this weekend.<br /><br />Also, if you purchase the Ultimate Afro-Genderqueer Collection, you can get the majority of the Afro-genderqueer/Philosophactivist writings (minus Philosophactivism 3). We're talkin' the latest editions of the vintage Notes from an Afro-Genderqueer 1&2, Philosophactivism 1&2 AND Queering Herbalism (yup, gift it to that BIPOC queerdo healer in your life).<br /><br />You can even find some of my latest zines like Liberatory Sustainability, Partnering with Plants, Liberatory Medicine Making 1&2 and the special edition volumes of the unreleased Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia.<br /><br />Soooo, stop on by <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/afrogenderqueer">etsy.com/shop/afrogenderqueer</a> and take a looksee and buy some rad zines written by yours truly and support my folks across the charco in Borikén in rebuilding their lives after Irma and María.<style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} span.s2 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none; color: #9e4a2f; -webkit-text-stroke: 0px #9e4a2f} </style><div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="9d3d3-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; position: relative; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span data-offset-key="9d3d3-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">So, I just read an interesting article called <a href="http://www.medicinecountyherbs.com/blog/herbalism-as-a-tool-for-social-justice" target="_blank">Herbalism as a Tool for Social Justice</a><span id="goog_1635262103"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1635262104"></span>.
</span></div>
And I started to think about how I'm glad it was written but how I felt something was lacking. I sat in reflection and came to the conclusion that I think where I stand right now, personally, is---<br />
<br />
how can marginalized indigenous black and brown communities reconnect with our healing traditions (which all involve plant medicine) to work toward our liberation. And without the paternalism of our white allies who have been socialized in many ways to believe that they know what is better for us than us or that they can do it better than us. Also that their knowledge and ways of learning and understanding are superior.<br />
<br />
How can we (BIPOC) be centered in the healing histories we are constantly exposed. How do we address that the majority of written/documented histories and research are written by those who value this written method over oral tradition? And I don't mean BIPOC didn't have written traditions, because we did. There's certain information that we don't write about because we have a responsibility as healers and medicine keepers to our communities and the medicine. And let's talk about the intentional killing of our knowledge keepers by colonizers and how once, we didn't have to worry about this sacred information being "lost" or stolen and watered down. <br />
<br />
Anyway- good questions to think about answering are: how can our white allies work toward our liberation without<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>having us educate them</li>
<li>telling us how they think we should go about liberating ourselves or furthering their movement(s)</li>
<li>telling us we should be nicer to them or more appreciative that they are "at least trying" and that we should be giving them some kind of special recognition for going out of their way to learn about the ways in which BIPOC are oppressed.</li>
</ul>
<br />
And even when "anti-oppressive/anti-racist" white allies stop doing these things, how can we talk to them candidly about how they are still perpetuating racism, prejudice and discrimination by continuing to consciously and unconsciously uphold white supremacy, centering their colonized history, teachings and beliefs while using them as a model and standard for comparison while expecting kudos for including a few phrases about our traditions even as our knowledge is packaged as coming from a monolithic community (The Native Americans used this plant for....)<br />
<br />
And sometimes the knowledge gained is thrown back at BIPOC and held over our head, becoming a weapon because we don't have the resources to travel to the places we're from, to study our traditions. We have to filter what is given to us from the white folks who can afford to learn from our people...our healers...our medicine makers. We have to sift through racist, white supremacist, discriminative views. We have to listen to the dominant narrative about how Europeans might not have invented plant medicine, but they perfected it. We have to listen to white folks- scholars and travelers- who put their nose in the air because they know more about our people than we do, know more about our medicine than we do. And some of us are broken open by this. Brought to our knees and we defect from your movements. Modern western herbalism and western holistic healing movements. <br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway-<br />
Anti-oppressive white medicine makers, here are my questions for you:<br />
<br />
<br />
What good is liberation from chains when you're/we're still in prison? What good are the master's tools in our (BIPOC) hands when wanting to dismantle this peculiar house that's been built?</div>

<b>Happy Spring!</b></h3>
<br />
The School of Liberation Healing and Medicine has got some exciting news. This season we're creating a space where we folks of color can unapologetically be ourselves and share our medicine and healing.<br />
<br />
The BIPOC* (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communiversity version of the Herbal Freedom School program is here! It's a community-supported 12-week program where seats are made available by the community's/communities' investment.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<strong style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So how does this BIPOC Herbal Freedom School Communiversity work?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
<br />
The community invests, seats are funded. BIPOC apply and are accepted lottery style and each person is asked to invest $11.11 toward their seat. Some folks will be able to purchase their seat at the full cost to further support the communiversity and also guarantee a seat. There are a couple partial scholarships available.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BIPOC community please invest in this sacred healing space. And white accomplices, you've asked how you can help and now is the time to recruit among yourselves to support this life-sustaining healing mission.</div>
<div>
<br />
Help us meet our first goal of <b>$2,500</b> for <u>10 community seats</u> by <b>April 15th</b> and help us raise double that for 20 <u>community seats</u> by <b>May 1st</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You can read more about it and invest here</b>:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Exciting news. I’m going to be studying ancestral medicine of the Afro-Caribbean and helping with a QTPOC land project in Puerto Rico from January –March 2017. While there I’ll continue to develop and design the School of Liberation Healing and Medicine and its Herbal Freedom School and Queering Herbalism/Queering Healing programs. In hopes of your support, until January 1<sup>st</sup> I will be selling 3 discounted collections of writings and compilations. <o:p></o:p></div>

In fact, it's not possible. I stressed a lot about this in the Summer Session. I wanted this space to be everything for everyone all the time! After all, people paid to have this! I quickly found out how implausible (or maybe just misguided) this kind of thinking was. In a conversation with a fellow queer brown person and educator doing healing work I reflected on the School of Liberation Healing and Medicine (<i>née School of Liberatory Medicine- lulz</i>) and the Herbal Freedom School and what exactly it is we're trying to do here. Largely, because my friend brought up that some students were lamenting over the fact that there wasn't more medicine making.<br />
<br />
At the Herbal Freedom School people are on a journey and there's a specific process or path. People really have to come to terms with the first few lessons before we get to the medicine making. I know many are always so keen to just begin making medicine and work with the physiological healing aspects but there's so much to unpack and unlearn- especially the ways we relate to our medicine, the energy we unconsciously put into our medicine, and our disconnect from our ancestral healing histories, medicine, knowledge and ways of being. But, people are so quick to want to know how to make a tincture or a salve, etc. I get it. They want something practical for right now. Though, that's not what the School of Liberation Healing and Medicine is about. Medicine making is a part later in our 12 week journey. (Or 6-week if you join during the 2nd part of the session.) Though you'll find aspects of it interweaved throughout because from the beginning we are partnering with plants by sitting and dreaming with them. There are many workshops out there with amazing folks and many books as well where folks can learn how to make oils, tinctures, salves and remedies. People have plenty of access to that information - and many times for free.<br />
<br />
In the Herbal Freedom School we set a foundation defining terms like liberation, health and healing and liberatory medicine for ourselves and we sit with what anti-racist, decolonial healing looks like. We discuss the impact of colonization on our healing histories and medicine and these are the first steps in the journey of connecting back to our ancestors and our own medicine. Then we are able to move on to achieving a more in depth understanding of medicine and how the ceremony and rituals and spirituality of our ancestors is inseparable from the terms "medicine" and "healing". In the final part of our journey we are ready to strategize about our healing which brings us full circle to the first lesson in which participants are asked what they need to feel liberated, what they need to release in their lives and to begin healing.<br />
<br />
It's understandable that different parts of the journey speak more loudly to different folks. We are all at different places on our path. The point is- in the Herbal Freedom School program there is a method and the journey that we take is not linear. It may seem so on the surface, but folks can quickly determine for themselves that it's not.<br />
<br />
Folks can take this program over and over and it can be different every time because they are peeling back layer after layer and different parts resonate and they connect differently with the material each time. Also, the material is influenced and shaped by those in the program- the interactions and conversation in the discussion boards and the live online class sessions.<br />
I tell folks in the beginning- this program is what you make of it. You can go really deep with it or you can go with the motions and put little effort in, only doing the minimal. While I'm somewhat a guide on the journey, I don't hold your hand or smack it with a ruler like some belligerent teacher if you don't "do the work." Only you can be the captain on the journey. It's your choice to connect or not and there's no shaming or guilt around what you are able to do. Rest assured- something will resonate if you come into the program with an openness, few expectations, and the will to connect with the medicine of our legacies.<br />

The <b>Winter Session</b> will begin <b>January 13th</b> and we're taking applications through <b>November 15th</b> to be in the program. <b>Once accepted enroll by November 28th</b>. Now, this is <b>Part 2</b> of the program and you can join in January <u>even if you haven't been part of the Fall Session (Part 1)</u>. This is an experiment so we'll see how this goes. (See above discussion for why!)<br />
<br />
You can enroll for <b>Part 1</b> after <b>November 21st</b> and you'll have access to the material such as video and audio, readings, etc. but <u>there won't be any live components or feedback on your reflections</u>. It'll be self-paced and the online material will only be available through <b>12/26/16</b>.<br />
<b>Apply and enroll early folks because there are a very limited number of seats.</b><br />

May has been a busy month. I returned from a few weeks in Puerto Rico building with some amazing co-visionaries: <b>Maria Reinat-Pumarejo</b> (<a href="http://colectivo-ile.org/"><b>Colectivo Ile</b></a>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oguJlXqKfQ"><b>Africa en mi piel, Africa en mi ser</b></a>), a phenomenal organizer and <b><a href="http://www.raulquinones.com/">Raul Quinones Rosado</a> </b>(<a href="http://www.c-integral.org/">C-Integral</a>), a liberation psychologist. Both do anti-racist trainings with <a href="http://pisab.org/">PISAB</a> and also facilitate <a href="http://www.raulquinones.com/?p=309"><b>Latino Challenges Toward Racial Justice</b></a> workshops. We talked about anti-racism, liberation, colonialism in PR, decolonization, psychology, organizing, health and healing, and so much more. So needed and nourishing! I also got to spend some time with brilliant herbalist, organizer, and author <b><a href="http://www.botanicultura.com/mariacutea-benedetti.html">Maria Benedetti of Botanicultura</a> </b>(FINALLY!) We ate and sang and she discussed her new novel, <a href="http://www.botanicultura.com/libros.html"><b>Dolores y Milagros</b></a>. I also went to <a href="https://twitter.com/fncaflamboyant"><b>Finca FlamboyanT</b></a>, a queer land project in Sabana Grande. It is a sanctuary, artist retreat and home with so many fruit trees and medicinal plants. Speaking of retreat- I stayed with <a href="http://www.hydeparkart.org/residency/michelle-non%C3%B3">Michelle</a> of the <b><a href="https://artelibrepr.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/las-nietas-de-nono/">Nietas de Nono</a> </b>in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Patio-Taller/641303305968377"><b>Patio Taller</b></a>- another amazing artist retreat space (and space for youth organizing and so much other amazing work) with a beautiful herb garden and fruit trees. Hers is located in Carolina. We shared such insightful conversation about community, organizing, art, herbs, you name it. I also hung out with some created family members who really helped me out when I was living in PR last year. Without them I would not have survived. En serio. I restocked my zines and added some new ones at <a href="http://www.lachiwinha.com/"><b>La Chiwinha</b></a>, a fair trade ecotienda in Rio Piedras. And last but not least, I revisited <a href="http://www.casamucaro.com/"><b>Casa Mucaro</b></a> high in the mountains of Las Marias. This communal land houses musicians, puppeteers, and artists of many persuasions. I stayed there in 2014 and was able to really focus on the Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia and I did a talk for the <a href="http://www.sistahvegan.com/" target="_blank"><b>Sistah Vegan</b></a> Conference (organized by genius, diversity strategist, scholar and critical theorist <b><a href="http://www.abreezeharper.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Breeze Harper</a></b>) <b><a href="http://www.sistahvegan.com/upcoming-sistah-vegan-conference-2015/" target="_blank">"The Vegan Praxis of Black Lives Matter"</a></b> entitled <a href="http://www.sistahvegan.com/upcoming-sistah-vegan-conference-2015/"><b>Transvisibility, Survival and Solidarity</b></a> which was part of a joint talk “ALL Black Lives Matter: Exposing and Dismantling Transphobia and Heteronormativity in Mainstream Black ‘Conscious’.<br />

Yes! My trip ...no...journey...was as inspiring as it sounds. I am so grateful for the amazing people in my life who are doing such tremendous work. My heart was so full. I was so nourished during my journey this month.<br />
<br />
When I returned I began working on two new zines and I put together the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/281840666/liberatory-medicine-collection"><b>Liberatory Medicine Collection</b> </a>which contains the 4 second edition volumes of your decolonial herbal favorites: Queering Herbalism 1, Herbal Freedom School 1 and 2, and the new Partnering with Plants guide. Through this Sunday 5/29 the collection which has a $40 value is $25.<br />
<br />
You can purchase here:<br />

<br />
Partnering with Plants is also only $5 through Sunday 5/29. Use the code: PWP2016. <3<br />

<br />
<br />
You can email me at queeringherbalism@gmail.com for sliding scale discounts on the collection or to barter/trade medicine, knowledge, techy skills, etc, etc...I really need help designing flyers, websites and online courses and on making audio and video courses more accessible to those with different abilities.<br />
<br />
In June I will be at the Philly Trans Health Conference sharing on <b><a href="https://www.mazzonicenter.org/trans-health/workshop/qtpoc-healing-legacies-medicine-our-stories">QTPOC healing histories</a> </b>and your purchases will partially go toward making that happen. <br />
<br />
So what's this about online knowledge shares? Well, after much ado and some folks asking to be my "students" I decided to finally put together a little something online to see how it goes. A couple prototypes if you will. I won't reveal too much yet but I will say that one accompanies the Partnering with Plants guide and will be 4-6 weeks long and is a mini-program of sorts, while the other online knowledge share is a longer course- a full 3 month program- that explores all the volumes of the Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia. Ok. Cats out the bag. Hold me accountable to rolling these out this summer. Send me some messages and emails letting me know of your interest so I know all this hard work is going to resonate with some of you out there.<br />
<br />
Well- I guess that's "it" for now. Be on the lookout this month for the mini-program/online knowledge share. I'm working on the flyer as we "speak". The registration page will be up soon.<br />

Healing and Justice,<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I've just finished up the first edition of my new Partnering with Plants zine. It's available at the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/290061139/partnering-with-plants">Afro-Genderqueer online store (etsy)</a> and at Harriet's Apothecary Spring Edition next week. <br /><br /><br />Here's a description: <br /><br /><br />Description: This resource guide centers black and brown ancestral healing histories and focuses on the ways our ancestors built relationships with and partnered w/ plants through various ceremonies, rituals and medicine making. There are plenty of reductionist “this plant for this illness” texts that we see so often so I have tried not to replicate those texts, although some articles on medicine making basics can be found within the guide. In addition to non-european healing histories you will find articles about creating sacred space and suggestions on how to begin/continue partnering with plants in various ways. There are essays on plants and their role in spiritual baths and baños/sahumados de vapor. After medicine making articles a final section about healing ourselves and each other is included. In this section you'll find articles that address internalized and historical trauma and remedies for stress, anxiety and depression.<br /><br /><br />** Limited amount of printed copies available at the Liberatory Medicine Making: Partnering with Plants for Inner Peace and Liberation knowledge-share and during Harriet's Apothecary Spring Edition 2016 <br /><br /><br />Also, I've got the 2nd Edition of the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Find%20it%20here:%20https://www.etsy.com/listing/261069236/queering-herbalism-encyclopedia-africa">Africa and African Diaspora Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia Special Edition</a>.<br /><br />Description: This volume was written to center black healing histories, simultaneously challenging the prevalent anti-blackness in "modern western herbalism" and "holistic healing" by directly talking about the colonization of Africa, traditional medicinal healing in Africa and its Diaspora, black Trans and queer healers healing and transforming our many different communities in various ways, and birthwork and midwifery in the black community. The volume includes articles on ceremony, ritual and medicine making and a final section about healing ourselves and each other that addresses internalized and historical trauma and contains remedies for stress, anxiety and depression and an elixir for the heart.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm hoping to get the Ceremony, Ritual and Medicine Making volume of the Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia completed late May. I'll be back in Puerto Rico again for a couple weeks and I can't wait to be in the mountains and on the beach and with the trees and plants that healed me not so long ago.<br /><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Spring!</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday I celebrated another solar return (birthday) and I'm feeling super reflective. I've been thinking about these <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/261134879/pre-order-queering-herbalism" target="_blank">Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia</a> volumes and all the work that has gone into researching and compiling them over the past year and a half. I've been thinking about how much more expansive I've wanted them to be. You know, the information has always been about black and brown liberation, liberatory healing and the reclamation of our healing histories. It's always been about including suppressed histories and beginning/continuing a conversation about the healing legacy of queer, trans and gender non-conforming folks and honoring the place of spirituality and ceremony in our medicine making of many different varieties. The special edition on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/261069236/queering-herbalism-encyclopedia-africa" target="_blank">Africa and the African Diaspora</a> confronts anti-blackness in the current (modern western) "herbal revolution" by providing a closer look at African (and it's diaspora's) spirituality, medicine, and healing traditions. I am excited to start working on a more in depth Pan-African healing volume with an anti-colonial focus. And, the special edition of the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/215705590/queering-herbalism-encyclopedia-volume-3" target="_blank">Women*, feminine healing energy and resistance</a> volume honors the feminine healing energy, women organizers and healers and there's so much more I wanted to include but needed to pare down into two parts! As the volumes expanded I knew that there needed to be another medium for all the seeds that were emerging to be planted. This year I hope to do more knowledge shares and collaborations with this information.<br />

<br />
It's been a long road. I've been going through a lot of "health stuff/trials" this past year. I've struggled with having life-sustaining medication denied, not having insurance, not being able to afford obamacare and not qualifying for medicaid and patching together sliding scale medical assistance and self-pay treatments. I've had a really intense (short-lived) 80 hour a week organizing job. I've had my body react to the winter conditions and a lot of the toxins here in the D.C. area. Suffering from environmental illness (as <a href="http://www.littlevehicleforchange.org/" target="_blank">Aurora Levins Morales</a> calls <a href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/multiple-chemical-sensitivity" target="_blank">Multiple Chemical Sensitivities</a>) is no joke. Having a life-threatening autoimmune disorder and no health insurance really takes up a lot of time, space and energy. Every month I've struggled with not knowing if I can get a refill, afford a refill or a doctor's visit to get a refill. I've wondered if I'm going to deal with a paternalistic doctor and I've lamented that I don't have enough to pay for holistic practitioners- acupuncturists and naturopaths or herbalists. A lot of my healing has come from my own inner knowing and lots of research about the plants, herbs, medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, etc. that are accessible and affordable to me. I also have been able to reach out here and there to friends who are holistic practitioners.<br />
<br />
I still dream of nationwide networks of POC healers who ARE each other's insurance and practitioners. A loving exchange network practicing affordable preventative holistic medicine and lifting up each other's healing work. I know these informal networks exist and it takes some digging to find them locally or regionally. I dream of being a part of these sacred healing villages like Harriet's Apothecary provides every season in Brooklyn and other locations. Or the free clinic Ola's herb shop in Pittsburgh provides monthly. Or similar healing circles and events in Oakland. It's crucial that we keep supporting these spaces in whatever ways we can. Ola's is in danger of closing and is raising funds <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/gvxvyj3s" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
So what's next for Queering Herbalism/ Queering Healing? Well, my health has become my primary focus for 2016 so while I'm navigating that, I'll also be finishing editing these volumes. I'm hoping to publish them this Spring and I've already got the special editions up on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/afrogenderqueer" target="_blank">Etsy page</a> along with new editions of Queering Herbalism and the Herbal Freedom School volumes. I thank you all for your patience and understanding. I promise to continue putting my all into these volumes and to be a conduit for the compilation of this important healing wisdom. I'm committed to finding different mediums to share the information as well. This month I'll be at the <a href="http://www.harrietsapothecary.com/next-harriets-apothecary/" target="_blank">Harriet's Apothecary Spring Edition</a> and in June I'll be at the <a href="https://www.mazzonicenter.org/trans-health" target="_blank">Philly Trans Health Conference</a> sharing about QTPOC Healing Histories.<br />

<br />
The seasons have been flying by. I returned from Puerto Rico this spring, spent the summer in Austin and now I am unexpectedly on the East Coast. As I've been transitioning in PR, TX, and the DC/MD/VA area, so has Queering Herbalism 2. What started out as one volume and 200 pages has now become 5 volumes with a total of 505 pages. As I've struggled with health and housing and food insecurity, I've managed to keep writing and compiling slowly, but surely. Back in December my computer died, which set me back some months as I wasn't in the financial position to buy a new one. I kept at it, though and a very generous transwoman donated an old laptop to me. The ancestors have definitely been at my side saying "Keep walking."<br />
<br />
So, as the months have gone by, I've found each section/volume getting richer and richer. Namely, the Ceremony and Ritual chapter and the Women* Healers, Healing and Resistance chapter. I was able to take a step back and really think about the perspectives being represented (or not represented) and really "go in". In the Ceremony and Ritual chapter went in on many aspects of different ceremonies and the histories and cosmologies informing them, plants' rightful place in these ceremonies and had a little discourse on gender/sexuality and ceremony.<br />
<br />
In the Women* healers, healing, and resistance section/volume I was able to spend more time with the questions of...who is a woman healer? what is a healer? And what stories are not being told when we speak of women* healers? This allowed me to add more articles about transwomen and their place as healers in our history and though I was not able to find what I wished I could have on gender non-conforming femme and feminine healers, I was able to write about how this perspective is largely absent in the current literature and literature of the past. You know, our history is oral and this colonized way of legitimizing written history is an issue anyway. But ,where does that leave those of us searching for our predecessors, lineages and legacies?<br />
<br />
Well, we are definitely in a new and exciting time where we have to sit down together in living rooms and at kitchen tables and compare notes over meals about who we were and who we are becoming. The next Queering Herbalism is an encyclopedia of 5 volumes that is a window from the past into the present and future. I can't wait to share the completed versions with you. Though I'm working double shifts tirelessly at my day/night job, I am even more committed to getting this completed. Please support by pre-ordering your copies which will be in e-version for now. Also, if you have any printing hookups, please let me know. This will make the reading more accessible to those who are not able to access ebooks or read ebooks online. I'm thinking of doing some audio for some of the sections but that is a few months out, at the least.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all who have supported Queering Herbalism 2 and to those who have pre-ordered and waited patiently for the book to come out. I know these volumes are worth the wait. You will receive a special thanks consisting of the full encyclopedia.<br />
<br />
Healing and Justice,<br />

<h3>
This second volume reflects a deepening and asks you all to journey deeper into plant medicine and the wisdom of black and brown ancestors. We walk farther away from "modern western herbalism" and deepen our connection to healing practices, spirituality, and cultural and historical context, and the stories behind different traditions' relationship to plants. We also unapologetically honor women healers and our queer
predecessors and trans*cestors by acknowledging and reclaiming their legacies
through learning more about queer and trans* healers, queerness and healing. And we honor the importance of healing ourselves and get
a better understanding of internalized oppression and internalized trauma and
learn herbs that support us with our depression, anxiety and trauma.</h3>

<br />
I've been working diligently on the content and structure for the next volumes of Queering Herbalism and Herbal Freedom School and I have to say I've been truly motivated and inspired by feedback, my new home and surroundings, and re-emerging interest in the first volume. I hope to have previews available by the first week of December and the new zines online before the new year. Luckily I've just gotten my computer back from the repair depot in awesome condition and that's no longer a barrier. If I could just get my hands on a decent printer/copy machine and ink and toner I would be in the best shape. Til then, copy shops and e-books!<br />
<br />
<em>Speaking of best shape...</em><br />
<br />
I have so much gratitude for my friends who have shown an overwhelming amount of support through my illness by sending me wellness packages of herbs and salves and linimients, vitamins, and natural mosquito repellant. I never knew that community care could look like this. A circle of friends as your health insurance? As in, actually ensuring your health. I am so grateful and it has opened my eyes to what our communities are capable of when it comes to supporting each other's well-being, whether that is emotional, psychological, physical, or spiritual. Though many of my friends are struggling we try to find ways to be there for each other in whatever ways we can. And that's what truly matters. A phone call. A care package. An uplifting e-mail. A text to check-in. Even with a handful of friends, this goes a long, long way.<br />

I can't wait for ya'll to see the new volumes. They are natural next editions, reflecting a deepening and asking you all to journey deeper into plant medicine and the wisdom of black and brown ancestors. We will be walking further away from "modern western herbalism" as there are enough texts concerning this and we will be deepening our connection to healing practices, spirituality, and cultural and historical context, and the stories behind different traditions' relationship to plants. And yes, more information about queer healers and queerness and healing.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321489529250734786.post-47106323696789137142014-10-20T12:42:00.000-07:002014-12-21T22:02:05.903-08:00A Much-Needed ReturnIt's been 2 months and here I sit reflecting on the last few years of
my life that have brought me to heal on the island of Puerto Rico. I've spent much time frequenting the beach- my confidant, my
teacher, my altar. There is so much knowledge hidden deep in the warm,
fierce waves of the Atlantic off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico
where I now reside.<br />

<br />
In the first 2 weeks of being here, during my artist residency at <a href="http://patiotaller.org/" target="_blank">Patio Taller</a>, I contracted a (mosquito-born) virus much like the dengue fever, called <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/046346_chikungunya_virus_puerto_rico_disease_epidemic.html#" target="_blank">chikungunya</a>.
I was already beginning to feel lonely and having a hard time getting
grounded and BOOM! I started getting these immense headaches, then the
next day I threw up over and over and over and then the next day was a
rash that started on 2 limbs and spread to all 4 and my face.<br />
<br />
I
questioned the ancestors..."WHY?!" <br />
<br />
Already I was trying to adjust to being
so far from my created family and then I get this disease with no cure.
Luckily at <a href="http://patiotaller.org/" target="_blank">Patio Taller</a>
there were a number of herbs and fruit trees that had anti-viral,
anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. (Oregano brujo, Oregano chiquito, menta poleo, and limoncillo). The chikungunya's
symptoms are arthritic. So yep! I get a double dose of joint pain with
having systemic lupus and this virus. Luckily (?) I am already taking pills for
joint pain so with my medications and the copious herbs and
fruit and coconut water and medicinal mushroom tea,etc. I've been able to have
milder symptoms than some folks that have contracted it.<br />
<br />
In
reflection, having this illness brought me full circle to my love for
herbalism and a few steps further on this path as a medicine maker. I've spent the last year struggling economically and with my health and transitioning- a true dark night of the soul or healing crisis. It has truly been a long journey though I feel in many ways it just began when I stepped foot here on this island.<br />
<br />
Pre-chikungunya, while being on the grounds
of Patio Taller I began connecting with the plants and making teas
right away thanks to Michelle (one of co-founders of the space)
introducing me to local herbs. Then, within the first week I met a really
awesome group of herbalists and healers (<a href="http://accioncamandular.org/index.html" target="_blank">accion camandular</a>) and they invited me to table
with them at a festival on Calle Loiza in Santurce. I had a good time speaking with
folks about <a href="https://gumroad.com/l/warriorhealer" target="_blank">Queering Herbalism and the Herbal Freedom School Zines</a> and even sold a few.<br />

After
tabling there I decided that Queering Herbalism 2 definitely needs to be bilingual. It
will have both Spanish and English articles. I am excited about the
themes for this one. Stay tuned for the preview of either a series or the entire guide.<br />
<br />
<i>Depende...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I hope to meet <a href="http://www.botanicultura.com/mariacutea-benedetti.html" target="_blank">Maria Benedetti</a>
soon! She is an awesome yerbera/herbalist and activist who has been on the island for decades doing amazing things. I'd love to be more involved with <a href="http://www.botanicultura.com/" target="_blank">botanicultura </a>and learn more
about the plants here on the island. I've been studying up...TRUST. And
I've even been making some of the folks in Luquillo and Guaynabo remedies for the
chikungunya and other ailments. I would have never thought that I'd be making house calls.<br />
<br />
Other than my artist
residency, the chikungunya, medicine making and ideas for a new Queering
Herbalism and Herbal Freedom School, I have been meeting all types of artists, farmers,
travelers, healers, visionaries and all around buena gente. <br />
<br />
So-
here I am in Puerto Rico- piecing together suppressed histories.
Healing myself with mango teas, papaya leaves, lemongrass, oregano
brujo, cundeamor/cerasee and other herbs that some have lost faith in or have become
disconnected from. I am thankful for herbalists like Maria Benedetti and
curandera historians like <a href="http://www.auroralevinsmorales.com/">Aurora Levins Morales</a> who have started the conversation again about our non-european herbal traditions.<br />
<br />
Healing justice is
something we've got to step up and own if we ever want <b>true</b> freedom.
Western medicine...the medical industrial complex...Big Pharma....the
food corporations...the 'greenwashing" of the so-called sustainability
movement, they are all exploiting us and at times working in
conjunction. There are a handful of companies profiting from our demise.
And it's just the truth. We need to own our healing. We need to own what happens to our bodies.<br />

I
struggled for years and years- economically, with my health, etc. And
now here I am, in Puerto Rico thankful to be meeting such awesome people and slowing my
life down so I can heal and do what I'm here to do on this journey. I
began to feel a bit of guilt as I stood knee deep in the Atlantic
looking at the crystal blue, see- through waves. I wondered why everyone
couldn't feel this. Just stop being on the grind...and feel this. And I
became even more committed to co-creating a space where that is
possible. A space where people can stop hustling and just BE and heal in
all the ways they need to. Whether that be growing food, building their
own home, learning about herbal medicine or birth work, or
anti-oppression or their own internalized oppression. I've been talking
to so many friends who want to co-create this type of community and I know many already exist or have in the past. I don't
know how far off it is from now but I'm going to keep working toward seeing this vision manifest
slowly as I heal myself from this virus and this autoimmune disorder.<br />
<br />
Please
send healing energy and good vibes as I continue to transition and walk
this path.<br />

As I've mentioned, I am healing myself of a virus and autoimmune disorder and I, like many of you, am struggling to sustain myself and have a stable living situation. I don't have health insurance and I now write full-time, which works best for me as a genderqueer, brown person on this healing path with chronic illness and limited ability. Holistic medicine and treatment can be expensive and there isn't a lot of access to these services for those of us with less capital, especially in the colony of Puerto Rico. So it's important to support your visionary healers, the majority of us have come to this work through our own healing crises.<br />
<br />
I look forward to keeping you posted about my research and
writings.<br />
<br />
Wishing you all healing and a sense of community and belonging,<br />
