Café con Cass

Self-healing. I facilitate plans and processes for leaders that inspire personal and professional development in creative and technical ways. For many years I sat in the backseat of my own life feeling helpless, as if someone else was driving. My journey to get to the heart of the message, community resources such as public access television, healing justice spaces, and global collaboration with clients and colleagues at Harvard University has helped me get to the front and center of my own story. I now use those tools to help others and grow my practice.

Healing justice. I am committed to creating a more creative and just world that honors our history, no matter how painful, and restore dignity to the most vulnerable. Our birthright is joy. This is our natural way. I create spaces for clients to expression themselves while continuously improving myself. A Healing Justice Practice Space (HJPS) is an all-gender, all- bodied, inclusive and accessible space for practicing and receiving healing that is built in partnership with social justice movement work and sites of political action.

Reaching the world. When we talk about globalization, we often focus on the select few who profit or those who lead non-profits. We are all an important part of the ecosystem, however our economy does not reflect that. Through my migration from New York City to Harvard University and back to Boriké (Puerto Rico), I seek to move beyond the constrains of colonialism and remember our interconnectedness. I am a lifelong student who also wants to share with the world. I am curious how we can use the media to engage with a variety of experiences while being supported by search engines and algorithms that enhance the diversity of content, not limit its scope.
