One of my dreams has been to support a space where Black healing practitioners in the Baltimore area who identify as queer or trans, or are queer and trans affirming, can be listed in an exhaustive and ever-expanding resource.  From therapists to sound healers, reiki practitioners and yogis.  A place where you can come for whatever need you have, and know you'll be met with someone who honors you.

There are countless incredible people and organizations who should be on the list.  Share them with me.  And share the list that forms below with the world.
