Jameela Goudarzi (she/her)
Growing up in a small southern town, the child of a working class white mother and an Iranian immigrant, I’ve always had an expansive curiosity that reaches beyond the false borders of place and time. While my experiences have been shaped by my identity as a woman in the Deep South, my curiosity has led me to a greater awareness of our innate connections.
I am a family nurse practitioner. Having worked within a wide range of health care settings and populations since 2009, I earned my doctorate in nursing practice in 2016 from the Medical University of South Carolina, where I currently practice in adult primary care. I began working as a registered nurse in 2012, caring for critically ill trauma patients in the intensive care unit and volunteering at a free clinic in an underserved community.
I strive to provide compassionate and equitable care to my patients of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I have a special interest in LGBTQ+ health and in working to decrease trauma in this population within the health care system.
For several years I found joy in leading weekly yoga and meditation practices as a certified yoga instructor, and I use these techniques as part of my approach to health and healing. Through the practice of meditation and yoga, I have seen how the power of self inquiry can shed light on our true nature.
As part of the Collective, I look forward to exploring how self inquiry can transform critical dialogue. I have been a facilitator on issues of racial and social justice since 2016.
