To my community:

As the founder of 5 for 8, I offer a promise rooted in integrity, accountability, and love. We believe that healing is rooted in community. When the collective is well, the individual has room to grow, rebuild, and thrive. Your identity, your story, and the places that shaped you matter here. At 5 for 8, we honor grace, dignity, wellness, creativity, and liberation in all that we do.

With each person I serve, I hold the hope that their healing ripples outward—impacting families, communities, and the spaces they belong to.

We exist not only to serve individuals, but to uplift the communities that raised them.

When you think of social justice expressed through healing, connection, and creativity, we hope 5 for 8 comes to mind. Our commitment is simple: to stand with you, to serve with intention, and to ensure our presence leaves a meaningful, lasting mark.

Social justice is the foundation of our care.

We recognize the impact of systemic oppression, generational trauma, and barriers to access—and we are committed to equitable, culturally responsive therapy that honors identity and lived experience. As someone raised in underresourced communities, I hold myself accountable to those I serve, ensuring this work remains grounded in justice, awareness, and community.

In practice, this means we heal through story, identity, community, and the sacred work of remembering who we are.

We promise to walk alongside you, honoring your story and the collective story we belong to.
