ABOUT TANISHA CHRISTIE
My life\'s work has been focused within the fields of the arts and culture, media and mental health.I have worked with staff to develop creative, cultural and economic sustainable opportunities and wellness programming for artists, activists and cultural workers. I founded Liberation-Based Therapy as community of therapists understands that systemic and structural issues are not personal failures. I wanted to work with therapists who desired to grow their clinical acumen under the believe that the therapeutic process can center reassurance, relief, resistance; rest and creative activism. Being a human with feelings is not a pathology. I desired to support the wider community with a therapeutic environment that was reflective of who they/we are. We work with everyone and anyone who sees themselves at the social and cultural intersections and/or crossroads. As an interdisciplinary performing artist and filmmaker, I have performed, produced, directed and taught in traditional and non-traditional spaces in the U.S. and Panama. Highlights of my career include, my performance installation, bathtub, tackling issues of race and intimacy was awarded a MAP Fund grant; And have produced Brave Girls, a documentary focused on young women in a conservative town in India (DOC NYC, AFI Film Series). Was part of theater collective called The Black Theater Mechanics working with the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art (MoCADA) whose initiatives HBCU student workers through the COVID 19 pandemic. I continue to consult with documentary filmmakers and artists on their upcoming projects. Most recently with filmmakers Ellie Walton, Nyasia Laing and theater/cultural work and writer Dr. Nina Angela Mercer\'s Ocean Ana Rising, Inc.
