Stories That Heal
The Book & The Podcast
Back Yourself: A Wellbeing Guide to Healing from Racial Trauma
I wrote this book as a resource, a reflection, and a reclamation.
It’s a guide for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour — those of us navigating the layered impacts of racial trauma, systemic harm, and internalised struggle.
Whether you're dealing with microaggressions at work, healing from intergenerational pain, or simply trying to feel whole in a world that often fragments us — this book is for you.
But I also wrote Back Yourself for non-POC readers, particularly those who are ready to listen, unlearn, and support healing without centering themselves. If you're committed to doing the deeper work of anti-racism — this book offers insight, language, and embodied context that many traditional resources don’t.
This is more than theory — it’s a toolkit.
Inside, I share practical strategies, reflection prompts, lived case studies, and grounding practices designed to support your body, mind, and spirit.
What’s inside:
-
Colourism, cultural conflict & intergenerational trauma
-
Nervous system regulation & embodied resilience
-
Healing justice frameworks and movement-based activism
-
Journal prompts, case studies, and real-world application tools
Whether you're reading for your own healing or to support others with more care and clarity, Back Yourself is here to walk with you — not as a quick fix, but as a guide for the journey.
The Podcast - Intersections
I co-host Intersections with my dear friend and colleague, Harpreet Nandha. Together, we explore what it means to live at the intersection of race, culture, queerness, faith, disability, identity — and everything in between.
This podcast was born from our shared belief that real healing happens in honest conversation. Each episode is a heartfelt dialogue with guests who bring nuance, depth, and lived wisdom to the mic.
You’ll hear stories of resilience, identity, othering, celebration, grief, joy, and belonging — all woven together through a lens of justice and care.
If you’re someone who values raw truth, emotional intelligence, and conversations that hold space for complexity, Intersections is for you.
