Hi, I’m Aaricka!

If you're enjoying this article, you'll love my daily morning newsletter, How To LA. Every weekday, you'll get fresh, community-driven stories that catch you up with our independent local news.

Confusion, unrest, fear, uncertainty — create your own word cloud of uncomfortable feelings generated by the insurrectionist siege on our nation’s Capitol and then try and process them with your family.

It’s a lot, so we reached out to L.A.-based therapist, artist and healer Thea Monyeé for some guidance.

And we’re listening. Tell us how you’re processing your feelings by emailing the reporter at mdale@scpr.org and we’ll update this post with what you share.
