Honoring Service, Embracing Life: Conversations with Qwynn Galloway-Salazar

In this episode of the Tango Tango podcast, host Lloyd Knight speaks with Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar, an Army veteran whose post-service mission is supporting service members, veterans, and their families. She shares how running a military mailroom revealed what lives beneath the uniform and inspired her path into criminal justice and counseling. They discuss her work at the intersection of trauma recovery and the criminal justice system, including training law enforcement, courts, and treatment programs to recognize military-connected trauma and reduce cycles of crisis and incarceration. Qwynn also discusses compassion fatigue and the practices that help her stay grounded. Qwynn then explains how a mentor’s terminal diagnosis led her to become a death doula and advocate for dignified end-of-life care for veterans. From building In Their Honor to leading national training through PsychArmor, she reflects on how storytelling, cultural competency, and heart-centered leadership can transform support for the military community.
