Action means a lot more than words, and just be gentle with yourself.
Imagine a world where recovery isn't just about breaking free from addiction but also about dismantling the walls that keep marginalized communities isolated. In this episode of 'No Thanks But Yes', Donald McDonald chats with Shauntelle Hammonds, the dynamic executive director of Peter's Place RVA. Shauntelle’s work focuses on providing compassionate and accessible housing, resources, and trauma-informed care to LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking personalized recovery support.
The conversation flows from serious topics like discriminatory barriers in recovery to lighter, everyday acts of self-care, like doing laundry. Shauntelle’s resilience shines through as she shares her journey and the challenges she has faced as an LGBTQIA+ individual in recovery. She opens up about the importance of creating inclusive spaces and how her role at Peter's Place RVA aims to prevent others from falling into the same pitfalls she encountered.
Through her candid discussion on power dynamics, privilege, and the fear driving discriminatory behavior, Shauntelle emphasizes that actions speak louder than words. She encourages listeners to be gentle with themselves and take actionable steps towards creating a more inclusive recovery community. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is not just a personal journey but a collective effort to support and uplift each other.
