The Resilience Within S3E2 w/ Jen Yáñez-Alaniz- Land and Lineage

Season 3 is about self-care, because self-care is community care. Today Jen Yáñez-Alaniz, a Chicana Mestiza activist, educator, poet, and PhD Fellow in Culture, Literacy, and Language at UT San Antonio shares some of her experiences working with refugee students in both the classroom and the garden setting.  She also shares about how she is addressing her chronic pain through a deepening relationship with the land and her lineage. Through the mentorship of her indigenous elders and relatives, she is cultivating a renewed relationship with the plant medicines of this region.
