IN OUR KINGSTON COMMUNITY


Help Aleesa Complete Her Cosmetology Training



Every week we learn of black women, men, children, and families who are facing brutal treatment, assaults & shootings by police officers.

Here in my community, this police violence is happening as well. 

In 2017, Aleesa Jordan was assaulted by police and wrongfully arrested just a few blocks away from her high school here in Kingston, NY. She was 16 at the time. 

At the time of Aleesa’s assault she was attending high school and she was also enrolled in a Cosmetology program- a free career training program for high school students at Ulster BOCES. Due to the repercussions of the assault and wrongful arrest, Aleesa was unable to complete this program. She is now settled in a new city and ready to go back to school. 


Let’s help Aleesa to go back to Cosmetology School!

Please help us raise:

  • $4000 for Aleesa's Cosmetology School Tuition & other professional development courses Aleesa will be attending
  • $3000 for Aleesa to use for a cosmetology kit & living expenses during the time she’s attending school
  • $2000 for Aleesa to start building savings towards her future

"The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."—G. K. Chesterton

"This Free Black Mental Health App Was Created Two Years Ago. It's Especially Relevant Right Now for Our Community." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [3:46] Jasmin Pierre isn’t shy when it comes to discussing her mental health journey with others. “I’m really not afraid to put it all out there. Like, people know that I’ve been suicidal. People know that I’ve been in a mental institution,” said the 31-year-old mental health advocate and app creator. By being so open about her story, Pierre hopes to normalize these conversations among Black people in order to remove the stigma associated with mental health challenges. That’s one of the reasons why the New Orleans native created “The Safe Place,” a mental health app created with Black folks and cultural competency in mind. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the country’s continued racial trauma and unrest, Jasmin has witnessed an increase in downloads.

  1. "Autism Shutdown Vs Autism Burnout - What's The Difference." IndieAndy, Youtube. [7:57] Autism Shutdowns and Autism Burnout are both two real realities for autistic people. But what is the difference between a shutdown and burnout? I will also be sharing the signs of autism burnout and tips for both autistic shutdowns and autistic burnout.  💥 Video about autism shutdowns: https://youtu.be/e-q3k6e7iPU  💥 Video about autism burnout: https://youtu.be/_wMJD09aJAQ  Coping with autism burnout but also coping with autism shutdown can be tricky. However to understand what autism shutdowns are and what is autism burnout, hopefully you will be able to understand how to avoid them. By openly discussing autism burnout symptoms and characteristics of autistic shutdowns, you might be able to spot them and not just yourself, but someone on the spectrum you know.  Especially as autism regression happens when an autistic people are in burnout. Which not only can reduce skills but can lead to more autism shutdown & autism meltdowns too. November 11, 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdgKacBozh0

  1. "Autistic burnout, explained." Sarah Deweerdt, Spectrumnew.org. ‘Autistic burnout’ is the intense physical, mental or emotional exhaustion, often accompanied by a loss of skills, that some adults with autism experience. Many autistic people say it results mainly from the cumulative effect of having to navigate a world that is designed for neurotypical people. Burnout may especially affect autistic adults who have strong cognitive and language abilities and are working or going to school with neurotypical people. [Audio file of article on page] March 30, 2020. https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/autistic-burnout-explained/
  2. "Autistic fatigue - a guide for autistic adults." Autism.org.uk, accessed December 29, 2020. Exhaustion (fatigue) and then burnout can happen to anybody. Being autistic can make fatigue and burnout more likely, due to the pressures of social situations and sensory overload. If you are experiencing fatigue or burnout, managing your energy levels is essential, as this guide explains. https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/autistic-fatigue/autistic-adults
  3. "Autistic Burnout: An Often-Misunderstood Element of Autism." Emily Swaim, Goodtherapy.org. During an autistic person’s life, there may be times when they seem to lose skills or show more obvious signs of autism. For example, a toddler who had a vocabulary of a dozen words may stop talking altogether. A social teenager may find it harder to make appropriate eye contact or take turns in conversation, despite having learned these skills as a child. This phenomenon is called autistic burnout (or autistic regression, depending on the source). Autistic burnout can be very distressing for the autistic individual and their family, especially if they don’t know what is happening. However, it is important to note that autistic burnout is not necessarily an omen of permanent regression or skill loss. Recovery is possible.

  4. '“Having All of Your Internal Resources Exhausted Beyond Measure and Being Left with No Clean-Up Crew”: Defining Autistic Burnout.' Raymaker, et al. LAY SUMMARY: Why was this study done? Autistic burnout is talked about a lot by autistic people but has not been formally addressed by researchers. It is an important issue for the autistic community because it is described as leading to distress; loss of work, school, health, and quality of life; and even suicidal behavior. What was the purpose of this study? This study aimed to characterize autistic burnout, understand what it is like, what people think causes it, and what helps people recover from or prevent it. It is a first step in starting to understand autistic burnout well enough to address it. [PDF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7313636/pdf/aut.2019.0079.pdf].

  6. "Alexithymia: What It’s Like to Not Know How You Feel." Yo Samdy Sam, Neuroclastic.com. It has nothing to do with being reluctant to share your feelings or having a “stiff upper lip” and not wanting to talk about emotions, rather, alexithymia renders you frequently unable to identify what it is you’re feeling at all, let alone describe it to another person. It is often described as “emotional blindness” but I believe this is a simplification, and as someone with alexithymia myself, I would better call it something like “emotional illiteracy”.

  7. "The Art of Masking: Women with Autism." Charlotte Egeskov, Tiimoapp.com. What is masking? Masking or camouflaging is artificially ‘perform’ social behavior that is deemed to be more ‘neurotypical’ or hiding behavior that might be viewed as socially unacceptable (1). The motivations for masking symptoms of autism includes fitting in and increasing connections with others. Masking itself is comprised of a combination of camouflaging and compensation techniques where the individual is able to control impulses, act ‘neurotypical’, rehearse answers to questions or conversations and mimic others. The short- and long-term consequences of masking includes “exhaustion, challenging stereotypes, and threats to self-perception” (2). Women and girls with autism are masking their conditions to such a degree that they risk late or missed diagnosis. Masking symptoms of autism may help socially and professionally but may also harm the individuals in the process. March 8, 2019. https://www.tiimoapp.com/blog/art-of-masking-women-with-autism/
  8. "Masking." Neuroclastic.com, accessed December 13, 2020. Attempting to cover autistic traits and emulate the environment/appear neurotypical. https://neuroclastic.com/glossary/masking/
  9. "Difficulty identifying emotions linked to poor mental health in autistic people." Laura Dattaro, Spectrumnews.org. Roughly half of autistic people experience alexithymia, which translates to ‘no words for emotions’ and is characterized by difficulties with identifying and describing one’s own feelings2. Non-autistic people with severe alexithymia are likely to have trouble with interpersonal relationships and are at increased risk for anxiety or depression, both of which frequently co-occur with autism. But little research has examined how alexithymia affects the mental health of autistic people over time.

These autism burnout symptoms can make daily activities, daily tasks even more challenging to cope with.    I have experienced autism burnout a few times over the last few years and it is a trait of autism I truly dislike.

In this very funny talk, Young breaks down society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn."

  1. "Autism." Tania Melnyczuk, Tania.co.za. Autism is an umbrella term for a specific cluster of neurodevelopmental endophenotypes — or more accurately, a cluster of clusters. A longer definition will not be forthcoming on this blog anytime soon. (I have other priorities.) April 19, 2019. https://tania.co.za/glossary/autism/
  2. "Behaviour is communication (or not)." Tania Melnyczuk, Tania.com.za. “Behaviour is communication.” This is a popular saying in the autism industry, and it’s used by both sides of the behaviourist debate: those who want to stop autistic people from behaving autistically, and those who accept alternative ways of being and communicating. But the notion that all behaviour is communication is problematic. Some people’s autistic meltdowns look much the same whether they’re in public or private.
