Support black folks, indigenous folks, queer and trans folks of color to have access to wellness services by purchasing part of or a whole consultation. This offering supports folks getting the wellness support they need who might otherwise not be able to access wellness services due to finances and/or due to the embedded racism that exists in our medical industrial complex. This same medical industrial complex has profited off the technology, collective wisdom, herbs, tools, strategies and bodies of black and brown herbalist, agricultural specialist, doulas, midwives, environmentalist and other stewards of the land and keepers of tradition. At the same time, the medical industrial complex has never provided equal quality of services and has relied on non-consensual experimentation of these same black and brown bodies. The mortality rate of black birthing persons is abominable and continues to rise. COVID-19 exposed the underlying health risks that have systematically eroded the health of our communities as well as the lack of care black and brown people can expect to receive when they visit hospitals around the country.
Your donation helps support free consultations on a sustainable and ongoing basis for folks who need it. These consultations are about care but they are also about preserving our cultural ways of working with plants and supporting each other's health.
We’re grateful for those of you who are able to give in any denomination. You can buy portions of a consultation in 10 dollar increments. Or for example, if you wanted to donate a full consultation, please select the quantity of 12 of $120 dollars. (Herbal Reparations participants pay $30 to make their own investment in the services, the $120 from the Herbal Reparations fund arrives at the full cost of a consultation.)
If you want to make an in kind donation of bulk herbs or menstruum, you can also contact me [email protected] to set up those donations. Herbs may be donated to bipoc members of the Herbal Artist Network. Herbal remedies made from these donations will be made available as needed to front line activist and black, brown and queer folks who do the work of holding our communities together.
Thank you for contributing to herbal reparations!
Donate ā†’Are you doing social justice work and can’t afford a wellness consultation?
We got you.
In Herbal Reparations, Herbal Wellness Consultations are deeply discounted for black, indigenous and queer folks of color who are doing work to support our communities on the frontlines of any of the various sites of struggle. These consultations are about sustaining our social movements by sustaining the people in our movements. If that is you, please let us also care for you. We ask that you pay $30 dollars to mark your investment in your own wellness and our community gives you the rest ($120) so you can take advantage of the full wellness services available to you through a wellness consultation. Your wellness is related to the health of our social change work so please believe we’re happy to invest in you.
