(uh-lee-see-uh) is a Registered Social Worker, independent filmmaker, writer, consultant, and internet kid. She centers her work on Blackness, love, trauma, non-monogamy, and the politics of digital spaces and spectacle.
She is currently pursuing her MSW in Social Justice and Diversity (Advanced Standing) at the University of Toronto, while simultaneously writing two forthcoming books with Thornapple Press, developing her third short film, and building her private practice, Nest and Bone Psychotherapy, which will open in 2026.
With over a decade of experience in counselling and advocacy, Alicia has worked primarily with self identified women, trans and non-binary people, as well as children, while also supporting men navigating the realities of gender-based violence. Her practice and scholarship are rooted in trauma-informed approaches that challenge mainstream assumptions about relationships, safety, and healing.
Her work has been featured by CBC, Bell Fibe TV, MTV, AspireTV, and CTV. She is also the creator of Polyamorous Black Girl, a digital project that began as a lifestyle blog and has grown into a widely recognized community and educational platform. Through this space, Alicia has become known for her unapologetic, accessible voice on trauma-informed polyamory, the intersections of white supremacy and non-monogamy, and the urgent need for language to understand abuse in polyamorous contexts. Increasingly, her creative and academic work also interrogates how spectacle in digital culture shapes narratives of Blackness, gender, and intimacy.
Alicia is currently located in Tkaronto (Toronto), the traditional lands of the Wendat, Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishinabek, and Haudenosaunee peoples. She is not currently seeing therapy clients; if you would like to be notified when her private practice opens in 2026, please [join the waitlist].
