About Critical Healing Moment:
Hey everyone, my name is Vi and Critical Healing Moment is a personal project that bridges healing, organizing, and social work through a critical lens to inspire others and build our capacities to take care of each other. I envision a world where we have the tools to take care of each other’s emotional and social needs outside of formal institutions of care.
Among many things I am an MSW student, community organizer, avid bullet journaler, budget lover, amateur gardener, overall creative, and cat mom.
