What happens when helping professionals are expected to carry other people's trauma—and then manage the impact on their own time?
On belonging, becoming, and what I learned from never quite fitting in one place.
I learned to code-switch long before I knew there was a name for it. 😂 Mostly, I just learned how to figure out who I needed to be depending on where I was.
For most of my life, I thought belonging meant assimilation. I don’t believe that anymore.
