Abstract

The author shares her decolonial journey in a personal manifesto. As a Puerto Rican born in the continental United States, but growing up in Borinquen (Puerto Rico’s Taíno name)—a colonized nation—the author embarks on a decolonial path addressing colonial mentality, coping in the diaspora, and thriving in the cultural borderlands. The author identifies social justice action as an antidote to coloniality and to oppression. Moreover, she discusses how her decolonization process helped her to develop and practice a radical feminist therapy. This healing approach integrates feminism of color, psycho-spirituality, and liberation psychology approaches.
