A love offering to my Trans Sistahs

At times it may feel like experiencing the goodness of the world is far away. It can even be a journey filled with unbearable pain and trauma mixed with the authentic radical joy of self-expression and identity. I want you to know, I see you, I love you, and I honor you. Remember: You are enough! You are worthy! You are perfectly made and have been graced with the journey of evolving just like any other human. You are a spiritual divine being having a human experience.

"I am Courageously and Creatively Desperate for a Culture Shift"

During this Womyn Herstory Month, I virtually gathered with my church family to celebrate Black Womyn's Courage, Culture & Creativity. Two weeks ago, Reverend Tana gave a sermon called" Women Whatcu doing," followed by last week's powerful sermon delivered by Reverend Kim Wylie called "A Call to Persistence." Guess who was asked to preach next.

The Power of Rest

For a young, black trans woman from Brooklyn, rest does not always mean restoration. As an activist, speaker, educator, and spiritual mother of community - there have been many too-busy days and countless sleepless nights, advocating for and emotionally nurturing the youth that I serve. During this month-long celebration of my solar return, I have navigated the waters of the current global shift with the peace and gratitude I feel about my own Becoming. Rest is my gift to myself, for surviving. Rest is my joyful surrender and celebration of 30. Restoration is the result of this celebration.

Meeting with Lama Gyaltsen Tamang

Time with a monk is not something to take lightly. On day 4 of being in Maui, I had the privilege of sitting with a Master. What kind of Master, you ask? The kind of master that can hold space for his spiritual students while in the lotus position for hours, without so much as a twitch, a stretch, or a drink of water. The kind of master that can deliver the message I traveled all the way from New Jersey to receive, with the stillness and grace of a grasshopper.

Grace & Sensuality, F*ck Fatphobia

Healing is a lifetime journey. Waking up in Hawaii after celebrating my Solar Return, I spent the day in quiet reflection, processing all of the calls, texts, messages I received as I laughed, danced, and smiled my way into 30. Processing is the necessary step before the release, and I am glad I followed the proper divine steps.

Solar Return

The Power of Manifestation

A Phoenix may rise from ashes, but a Goddess grows from the seed of courage. At the beginning of this year I planted a seed that I wanted a year of transformation, and here I share about exactly how I manifested my year of divine experience.
