#COVID19 SERIES, E2: GONJI LEE

For our second episode of #COVID19 series, HOL invites Gonji Lee to speak about their experiences as a mental health practitioner based Los Angeles, CA. Gonji identifies as a trauma and resiliency-informed, cognitive behavioral therapist, educator, and community organizer. They’re also a bookworm and music junkie who enjoys being an introvert at home with a bag of xxxtra hot cheetos and a pineapple pizza!

Gonji shares a wealth of their experiences of: 

  1. What it means to cultivate community resources through a disability justice lens
  2. What it means for various API (Asian Pacific Islander) communities to be impacted by the rise of anti-Asian racism
  3. And lastly, Gonji provides their own wellness practices for self-care during quarantine.

Tune into this uplifting conversation between Rita and Gonji today to grab some critical reflections on community mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic!!!
