Community Is the Care We Need | Tamela Gordon | TEDxDelthorneWomen

In this groundbreaking message, Tamela Gordon dismantles some of the wellness myths and the facade it often comes with. As Tamela puts it, "We need more than self-care, we need communal support." Tamela Julia Gordon is a New York City-based writer and editor. While she supports self-care, Tamela's message is clear: the care we need must be inclusive and communal. For five years, she's used her work, platform, and even her home to prove that we can get through anything with support and access to resources. Her forthcoming nonfiction, Hood Wellness: Tales of Communal Care From People Who Drowned on Dry Land, is a collection of stories, essays, and testimonies that affirm the power of communal care.

Tamela has been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Post, Elle Magazine, and Quartz. She's an acquisitions editor for Row House Publishing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
