Virginia Jahyu is an expressive arts therapist based in Toronto, Ontario. In addition to seeing clients and running expressive therapies groups for folx with diverse abilities, she is a passionate advocate, activist and facilitator. I know her from her impactful workshops on anti-racism and anti-oppressive practice in creative therapies. Virginia is also the vice-president of the Ontario Expressive Arts Association.
In our conversation, Virginia takes us on her journey through teaching and community organizing to expressive therapy. She breaks down the advantages and limitations of working digitally, what it means to challenge oppressive systems as a clinician, her passion for hip hop music and culture, and why JOY is a radical tool for healing and liberation.
