Additional Resources

We want to acknowledge that Little Seed Wellness is a white-owned practice working within systems built on white supremacy and exclusion. We’re committed to ongoing unlearning, accountability, and redistribution of resources wherever possible. The resources below reflect our effort to share care that is community-rooted, liberatory, and inclusive. We center the wisdom and labor of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, as well as queer, trans, fat, and disabled communities who have always led the work of collective healing.

Any resource marked with 🌰 indicates an organization or collective that is BIPOC-led.
