Join us for an Author Talk with Dr. Sky Lea Ross, who will share her work including: A Root that Sews, a poetry collection written over fifteen years about empathy, validation, & healing and Relationship Sink, which centers around relationships of all kinds. 

 

Born & raised in the poorer parts of Northern Pasadena, Dr. Sky Lea Ross had to navigate the resources available to hear at a very young age. Having a family history of chronic mental & physical health conditions as well as disabilities, she was exposed to abuse & neglect, thus causing her to go into foster care at age 16. This opened more doors for her, introduced her to a loving & supportive foster mother, & allowed her to pursue higher education. Dr. Sky received her Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Marriage & Family Therapy, & has dedicated her life to fighting for social justice/human rights, providing trauma-informed therapy as well as educating others on the importance of mental health.
