Thanks so much for including me in your article Kathryn! It is my greatest hope that people can truly believe, see, and feel that healing and freedom is possible through my art 🙏🏼 💫

This was a beautiful way to highlight everyone! Thank you for your intentionality, and I really appreciate you taking the time to slow down the wheel of social media. Responses don't need to be immediate! I have been trying to do the same, so I appreciate this so much. Especially since sometimes (usually) I don't have the energy to respond to things right away.

It is so wonderful to meet everyone here, sharing similar experiences with complex health and creative work!

This made me smile so big (After I figured out who was tagging me 😂) I'm honored you care so much you wanted to spend a bit of your time with each one of us. Thank you for being so kind! ❤️ Especially sharing so many amazing creative people here. I already found some new people to make friends with! 🥰

This is awesome! I wish I had seen it when it came by. I am a schizoaffective and epileptic writer who is currently working on a project about the life and works of James Baldwin, and asking the question “Is progress just another American institution?” Come check me out if you like to read a mix of mental illness education and racial justice.

Wow! This is incredible and so thoughtful. I'm honored to be included with so many wonderful writers and thinkers who are living with bodies that body differently! I also worry about not responding to people quickly! I'm glad I'm not the only one. ❤️‍🩹

This is a great idea, thanks for putting them together. I will be exploring this list!

I fit into this category too. Artist and curator here with bipolar 2 and metastatic breast cancer, plus autistic. Looking forward to following you too!
