Gifted to Healing Justice

Shortly after coming home, Patterson enrolled in a three-day therapy course offered by Healing Justice which taught her how to peel back her mask. This piece depicts the therapy sessions and what she found layered beneath the facade. Healing Justice is a program founded by Jennifer Thompson that connects victims and their accusers. She is also the author of “Picking Cotton” and you can learn more by visiting https://healingjusticeproject.org/about/
