Social worker and educator examining what brings people together and what pulls them apart.

Minaa B. is a social worker, therapist, author, and creator of The Siblinghood Theory. Her work examines how culture, systems, and community shape our sibling and peer relationships, and how those relationships, in turn, shape our sense of belonging.

A woman with dark braided hair wearing gold hoop earrings, layered gold necklaces, a white sleeveless blouse, and beige high-waisted pants, standing against a curtain backdrop.

Minaa B. is shifting the cultural conversation about what it means to belong by examining one of our most underexplored peer relationships: the one between siblings.

She believes siblinghood is more than a family role; it’s a framework that shapes how we love, lead, and build community.

Through keynotes, lectures, and community conversations, Minaa explores siblinghood as both a personal bond and a social one, shaped by family, culture, systems, and the environments we grow up in. Invite Minaa to your conference, campus, or organization to educate and inspire audiences to rethink how we form connections and promote community care.

Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World

Adversity comes in many forms and can make us feel alone in our pain, even years after the fact. But as licensed therapist Minaa B. observes, we can’t heal in isolation. The best way to move past individual trauma is through connection and community—healing ourselves and one another.
