Shine App

We’re on a mission to make caring for your mental and emotional health easier, more representative, and more inclusive—of all of our experiences. We started Shine because we didn’t see ourselves—a Black woman and a half-Japanese woman—and our experiences represented in mainstream “wellness.” Our bodies, our skin color, our financial access, our past traumas—it all often felt otherized. We met as coworkers, and the support we found in each other changed everything . We knew we had to help more people cope, process, and heal on a daily basis in a way that worked for them. That’s what we hope Shine does for you. We hope it’s your inclusive self-care toolkit to help you deal with the day-to-day highs and lows, and, with time, find healing that will last you a lifetime.
