Showing Up in the Therapy Room With Our Whole Humanity: Art, Attunement, and Radical Care
with Chenai Mupotsa Russell
01/21/2026
Learning from Chenai Mupotsa-Russell will absolutely transform you. Chenai doesn’t just teach us how we can use art of every kind to support well-being for our clients, she also embodies everything she teaches — art, liberation, anti-colonial practice, and so much more. In today’s conversation, we explore the role that art can play in our work as providers with concrete examples, and ideas, and stories from Chenai that you can use right away. Chenai Mupotsa-Russell is an art therapist, community builder, advocate, and PhD candidate in community psychology. Her research reimagines mental health through decolonial practice, collective care, and intersectional justice.
