There is a black and white challenge circulating on social media between women in support of one another, tasking us to post a black and white photo of ourselves. I was tagged by a sweet being, and felt my response was worthy to share here as well. Much of my work centers the wounds of [...]

The Faces of Racism
The Faces of Racism (& varying degrees in between): 1) You are maliciously, flagrantly, and hateful hearted; you believe yourself superior to all other “races”; you are threatened by the thought of losing your white supremacist power; you enjoy terrorizing and demeaning people who don’t look like you or act like you. 2) You say [...]
“All” Women: Please Take A Seat
Yesterday, I was posed with a question about why I would repost a meme elevating Black women as the "Top Women". A sweet friend of mine felt she could not get on board with the idea, and that it was a further way to divide women....that "all women were top women." I assured her it [...]
A War on People: Black, Brown & Indigenous People
My beautiful siSTAR and favorite human (pictured above) can’t make it any clearer for you. Sure all lives matter. But all lives have not been under siege for centuries. There hasn’t been a war on all bodies, all minds, or all spirits. All lives haven’t been enslaved, or their ancestors enslaved. All lives didn’t build [...]

However, after [...]

My first reaction was that I am absolutely against it’s prohibition--since it is deeply rooted in racism—that people [...]
Dreamfast With Me
People like to say, “Let the past die.” As if they are not aware that trauma, is like recurring movie. Played over and over. In every cell of our bodies. Deeply enmeshed in our ciphers. For trauma survivors, the past never dies. It is etched into the fabric of our beings. It enters and makes a [...]
Holistic Wellness…What They Won’t Tell You.
Pic: Himalayas-- Sikkim, India “Modern medicine, for all its advances, only knows 10% of what your body instinctively knows” (Deepak Chopra). They won’t tell you this of course. What they will do is create every humanly conceivable distraction in the world meant to keep us disconnected from our bodies, our intuitive abilities and our innate [...]
