Authentically, Vi

In the last days of 2019, I started my journey as a content creator on YouTube. July 2020 after quitting my non-profit 9-5, I rebranded the channel as Critical Healing Moment with the mission to bridge healing, organizing, and social work through a critical lens to inspire others and build our capacities to take care of each other.

​

What is a Critical Healing Moment?

 

A Critical Healing Moment means a number of things to me.

 

I can point to a handful of critical moments in my life where my decision to focus on healing has contributed to transformative personal growth and seeing things in new, paradigm shifting perspectives. 

 

Critical Healing Moments are also those routine moments of self care and checking in with yourself. I experience these moments in art and creativity, storytelling, playing in the dirt and weeds, and fostering deep connections over late night conversations with those close to me. I believe healing moments and healing relationships must be a part of our daily lives in order to radically change the world.

 

In sharing my major and routine moments of healing, my hope is to offer a pathway  for others to identify their own Critical Healing Moments and foster individual and collective growth.

 

Lastly, the critical in Critical Healing Moment also refers to the need to constantly and compassionately question ourselves and the world around us about what causes harm. I will not be afraid to critique the traditional mental health and healing industries about how they replicate harm.
