Candace Oglesby’s keys to psychedelics access are community and inclusion of therapists of color in psychedelics practice. An active member of the 28,000-member Facebook group Black Therapists Rock, Candace is a clinical research therapist in psychedelics for navigating trauma and the mental health challenges of cancer. In our conversation, we discuss how Candace came to the work of mental health, and making history as Black people in psychedelic healing.
