The Little Bloom Book

During the early months of the COVID19 quarantine, photographer, suicide care advocate and public speaker M. Abeo experienced the shift and rough transition in their life that most people did when everything shut down. The plates they had been spinning for so long, as cogs in the hamster wheel of capitalism and white supremacy work culture - all came crashing down. In the moments of darkness, it was their plants that helped them realize they weren't doing the best job at taking care of themselves or their big emotions. It was through their Blooms that they found a natural process of healing that was manageable and easy to understand. This book contains stories, lessons and plant care based steps to assist in better taking care of our own blooms. The goal is that by sharing their lived experience, others will be inspired to sprout new ideas and perspectives around healing their own mental health.
