*gets up from seat and claps* Its so comforting to see us collectively starting to question the conditioning we’ve been put through to appease the comfort of others.

I resonate with so much of your experience, Jacquie, sometimes I think we’ve lived the same lives!!!

Also LOVEEEEEE how you are using exploring fictional stories as a form of manifestation!!! GENIUS, and I hope this short story turns to non-fiction realllll soon!

Awwww Gabriela!!! Thank you I loveeee this comment! It’s so interesting to me how we do share similar experiences yet we all are just meeting. I think this is why I continue to write these Hood Therapy newsletters because they truly are healing for us.

and the short story love makes me happy I’ve been struggling with it cause it’s not the truth but it’s not supposed to be the truth it’s fictional. Idk why my mind was struggling to be okay with it not being my full experience. I think next time I need to keep it as just a fictional character and see what comes from that.

And yes the mood board I do for clients or my wallpaper on my iPad and laptop but including in the story time just felt right. And I loved it!!! Thank you for reading and commenting and sharing Gabriela! It truly means the world to me! 🫶🏾

Awww thanks!!! I was excited when I was able to throw in the history of dominos and spades while flowing in my first attempt of fictional writing. I wouldn’t let myself go read your work until I published so I could find my voice but I need some direction so I’m coming to dive into your work this weekend!

Hey Jacquie, this is awesome! I love how you’re taking Hood Therapy to the next level! Also, I watched the full popout show on YouTube and it was amazing! I loved seeing the whole city of LA come together, celebrate the culture, and have a great time! Kendrick is another person I gotta see it concert lol! Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for posting this! I love your newsletter! Just subscribed! :)
