Empaths Anonymous
Crystina and Danie are just your everyday black and brown eldest daughters in their early thirties, embracing their cultures and trying to navigate life as the highest versions of themselves while struggling to keep it together and carry everyone else’s shit too.
What started as humorous wine nights asking “am I the crazy one here!?” turned into a deeper need for bigger conversations on empathy, cycle breaking and mental health within BIPOC communities – enter Empaths Anonymous, a space to cry, curse, and cuddle.
Get ready for it all — conversations surrounding mental and emotional health, personal growth, community, race and culture, and more!
Welcome to the support group, feelers!
