Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are still widely misunderstood nowadays, necessitating awareness. Acu•Convos is a platform for recognizing and appreciating present acupuncturists of Color worldwide. It will give us further insight into them, their backgrounds, and why acupuncture has become essential to the IBPoC community.
When we get to know our acupuncturists, we discover various solutions to address our health, which we wouldn’t have considered in the first place. Because acupuncture and TCM are underutilized health resources, Acu Convos strives to raise awareness and educate people with more information to make informed choices that ultimately support their health.

Alleah Erica is a Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture student at Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine in Toronto, Canada. What inspired her to pursue TCM and Acupuncture is her experience with Thai massages, which she thoroughly enjoyed and found meditative. Having provided bodywork services to clients in the U.S., she discovered that each body told a different story. Eventually, she found herself self-studying and furthering her passion for Acupuncture.
