"In a world where self-care is critical to survival Gordon offers a revolutionary perspective that celebrates individuals' unique privileges challenges and desires. By defying the norms of multi-billion-dollar industries Hood Wellness illuminates the possibilities that emerge when we prioritize well-being while divesting from harmful structures. Hood Wellness is also a deep exploration of people forced to overcome harrowing circumstances with little more than communal support and the will to get well. From terminal illness and police violence to embracing gender identity in a society that's attacking trans and queer rights each story reflects America's extreme political racial and gender climates. Gordon challenges everything we think we know about wellness by calling out the wellness industry's inability to include those outside the margins of white heteronormative identities.
