"Owning Our Struggles" by Minaa B.

Book cover for "Owning Our Struggles" by Minaa B.

Adversity comes in many forms, and can make us feel alone in our pain, even years after the fact. But as wellness coach and licensed therapist Minaa B. observes, we can’t heal in isolation. The best way to move past individual trauma is through connection and community.

Minaa B.'s book is "Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World."
