Please join me and Dr. Amarilys Estrella on Friday, September 9, as we launch the first talk for our BRIDGE project, “Stressful Crossings: How Black Immigrants’ Health is Immobilized in Houston.”

The inaugural speaker for the project is Houston’s own, Dr. Thalia Micah. Dr. Micah is a holistic wellness practitioner and healer. Drawing on her healing practices she saw growing up in Haiti, particularly watching her mother, Dr. Micah has focused her career redefining health with her ancestry front and center. Beyond the body, she seeks to find ways to integrate the physical aspects of healing with understanding meditation, herbal medicine, bodywork, rituals that is guided toward serving the people. She recently received her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine here in Houston. She is also the owner and CEO of the Institute of Integrative Health Specialists and Holistic Wellness Center LLC.
