Janette Cordero (with ALMA Therapy PLLC)  is a settler who resides and works on the land of the Sana, Jumanos, Coahuiltecan, Nʉmʉnʉʉ Sookobitʉ (Comanche), Ndé Kónitsąąíí Gokíyaa (Lipan Apache), and Tonkawa nations, which was stolen and remains unceded. We acknowledge the historical and ongoing effects of colonization, including violence, genocidal intent, and the forced displacement of Indigenous peoples from this land. As settlers, we understand that we and our future generations have benefited from this legacy of oppression and erasure.
