About Nikia
I am an author and artist with many years of community service in the Inland Empire of California. I have two poetry and a memoir about my life of mental illness with my mother and daughter. She has a Master’s Degree in Cultural Studies from Claremont University, and she is currently enrolled in a PhD program for Women's Spirituality. I am the co-founder of Many Flowers, Many Seeds, a weekly meeting group for individuals of color who have a dissociation disorder.
My Recovery Story
As a Black woman diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, I hope my journey with dissociation will help people of color and those with black and brown bodies to share their experiences and know that we are not alone. I have been very fortunate to find mental health treatment that has greatly aided in my own recovery. My recovery has shown me that all human beings are worthy of happiness, success, joy, and recovery.. I am so grateful to be on this side of the journey, and goals in life include incorporating this kind of work in my life. I would love to create community with you.
My Motivation To Help
My motivation to help comes from my own experiences with my mother and daughter both diagnosed with schizophrenia. I grew up with the chaos of a mental health disorder in my family and many firsthand experiences of traumas in my own right. But as a Black woman, I see and understand the importance of creating spaces for Black, Indigenous, People of Color who experience disassociative identities. I believe that special care should be taken in regards to treatment and understanding. I would love to help provide and create those spaces.
