    Just walk away with the Joy

    Just walk away with the Joy

    I am a big fan of writing it out. If you feel sad if you feel happy if you feel stuck if you feel motivated, write it out. Journaling is something I try to do often and I have found it has helped me understand parts f myself that was hidden within me; voices I possed that I didn't even know, voices that speak power, strength, and healing into my life. Praise da lawrd, amirite, amirite?!

    Home Coming

    Home Coming

    This podcast started as a tool to help me hold myself accountable when it came to sharing my authentic and genuine opinions and creative expressions.  As I embrace my artistic process it continues to reveal to my fears and concerns. In this particular episode, I reflect on my internal experiences during these first half of 2020 and I continue to get acquainted with this platform, this tool of communications (with myself and with others) as well. Hope you enjoy it!

    Pain, ancestral trauma and artistic expression

    Pain, ancestral trauma and artistic expression

    Ancestral trauma (predominately in communities with displaces black and brown bodies) is the cause of many troubling thoughts and action in our present life. These thoughts and actions can lead to serious mental and physical health issues preventing us from living our best fullest life. Artistic expression is my favorite liberation technique to nip these toxic chains in the butt. Hang out with me while I share a poem I wrote called Dolor, or Pain where I tackle victimhood.  This poem and other tools of expression have supported my journey towards liberation from ancestral trauma.

    Expression through writing

    Expression through writing

    Take this walk down memory lane with me as I share a piece of writing that helped me understand and process my feelings towards a particular individual in my life in a positive way. Writing has always been a comforting tool of self-expression for me as it allows me to have a voice in and heal. Writing can be a powerful tool of healing and while sharing such intimate writing can be intimidating it can also be an extremely empowering act. Stay safe,be at peace, be at joy and don't forget to LIGHTen up!
