I created Blanket and Board in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic and protest of racial injustice after the death of George Floyd. It started with a self-care Sunday picnic as a way for friends and family to have a safe space to process the grief and collective trauma we were experiencing in isolation. At the time, I was a trauma therapist, working with children with complex trauma needs, and due to the pandemic, I had a hard time keeping in touch with my kids and families and yearned for a creative outlet that supported those around me.
