Mia Birdsong: "How We Show Up"

Tiziana Dearing moderates a conversation with author and activist Mia Birdsong at Brookline Center for Community Mental Health's ninth annual Women at the Center Kickoff. The event brings together women from across the community to expand access to mental health care for women and girls.

In her new book, "How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community," Birdsong discusses our inherent connectedness, where we find strength, safety, and support in vulnerability and generosity, in asking for help and in being accountable. Showing up — literally and figuratively — points us toward the promise of our collective vitality and the wellbeing we all want.
