In a candid Q&A with Y-WE alum Naomi Kirori, Reagan Jackson, Co-Executive Director of Young Women Empowered, reflects on her unconventional journey into journalism, never fitting the checkboxes, advice for aspiring writers, and the community responses to her recently released book, “Still True: The Evolution of an Unexpected Journalist.”
Justine Cruise-Roberson is one of the therapists actively holding spots for Y-WE clients through our Healing Justice Collective. She is a licensed social worker who specializes in a variety of therapies, and has an extensive background working with young people, holding space for BIPOC, queer, and trans clients.
Y-WE’s Healing Justice Collective is a new initiative that connects current and past Y-WE participants to values-aligned mental health practitioners and covers the cost of these resources. Learn about the genesis of the collective, what inspired it, and how we can make healing more accessible.
