As an African American
in this country,
your journey is special
and your story is unique...
Although trauma comes in many forms, we
know that being part of a marginalized group
brings the stress of managing
societal dynamics in addition to individual
challenges.
​
​
The (sometimes) burden of being human is compounded by the
legacy of being part of a
historically marginalized group
that even today continues to
experience injustices, inequities
and infuriating neglect.
​
​
Our work takes these realities into account,
not as experiences that happen in the
background of life, but as alive and present
truths that inform both suffering and recovery.
At Standpoint, we recognize these truths and
integrate them into our work together.
​
It can be a painful and complex journey, let us
walk it with you.
We are intersectional humans and so are our concerns...
"We go on because it is the hard thing to do and we owe ourselves the difficulty."
-Nikki Giovanni
The journey into becoming an authentic "you" can take time and often when you identify as LGBTQ, that journey comes with unique sacrifices and stressors . Layers of identity can find themselves folded on top of and intersecting with each other and sometimes they don't play well together.
