20+ years ago, I had one mission: to feel better in my body. 🌱
What started with changing the way I ate became so much bigger.

Plant-based living led me deeper into movement, yoga, holistic wellness, culture, healing, and learning how to care for myself as a whole person.
And somewhere along the way, the thing I was doing for myself became the work I now share with others.

Today, I help people explore wellness through:
🥑 Plant-based living + cooking
🧘🏾‍♀️ Yoga + Pilates
💃🏿 Dance + movement
🌿 Holistic wellness
✨ Resets + workshops
🌴 Retreats + experiences

I don’t believe wellness has to look one way.
It can be joyful.
It can be cultural.
It can evolve with you.
And it can start with one small decision.

If you’re working on feeling better, moving more, eating more plants, or reconnecting with yourself, you’re in the right place.

What are you working on in your wellness journey right now?

Follow along. Let’s make some wellness magic. 💚

21 years ago, I planted a soursop tree and a mango tree.

At the time, I couldn’t imagine what they would look like decades later. There were seasons when we weren’t sure they would survive, but I watched my grandmother keep tending to them, nurturing them, and giving them what they needed to grow.
Now, all these years later, they’re still here bearing fruit.

It reminded me that we often give up on things because they aren’t growing as quickly as we hoped.

Some things need more time.
Some things need more care.
Some things need us to keep believing before we can see the fruit.

And it’s never too late to plant a new seed. 🌱
What are you planting today that you hope will still be bearing fruit 20 years from now?

What gets lost in translation when we live in the diaspora? 🌿

Sometimes it's more than language. It's the ancestral knowledge, herbal remedies, and healing traditions passed down through generations.

As a Haitian-American, I've been reflecting on how much of this knowledge gets lost through immigration, assimilation, and the first-generation experience.

We may know a plant by its Kreyòl name but have no idea what it's called in English. Or discover an herb being celebrated in wellness spaces that our ancestors have used for generations.

And it's not just about medicinal properties. These plants also carry cultural and spiritual significance.

I've been on a journey of reconnecting those dots, learning to identify these plants, understanding their traditional uses, and exploring how we can preserve this wisdom by growing medicinal gardens of our own.

🌱 Introducing RACINE: Rooted in Ancestral Wisdom.

Because our roots aren't just something we come from. They're something we must continue to nurture.

Today we're exploring:
🌿 Leaf of Life
🌿 Holy Basil (Tulsi)
🌿 Mexican Tea (Epazote)

How many did you recognize? What medicinal plants did your family use growing up?

🇭🇹 From Haitian roots to holistic wellness. What a journey! 💚

I'm incredibly honored to be nominated for Health & Wellness Brand of the Year at Carib Biz Network (CBN)'s Island Icons Honors NYC 2026! 🎉

25 years ago, I began a personal healing journey that would change the course of my life. What started as a decision to live differently eventually became a calling to help others reconnect with themselves, their health, and their communities.

In 2005, I founded Yes Baby I Like It Raw with a vision that wellness could be more than what we eat, how we move, or how we look.

And from the very beginning, culture has been at the center of that vision.

For so long, we've been presented with versions of health and wellness that suggest we have to leave parts of ourselves behind to be healthy. That our cultural foods don't belong on a wellness journey. That the ways our communities have moved, gathered, celebrated, and cared for one another somehow don't fit into the modern wellness space.

I've never believed that.

Our culture isn't something we need to separate from our wellness. It's part of what nourishes us.

It's in our food, our music, our movement, our traditions, our ancestral wisdom, and the communities that hold us.

That belief has guided my work through plant-based nutrition, yoga, Pilates, African and Haitian dance, and holistic healing practices. It's taken me into classrooms, community centers, studios, and spaces I never imagined, reaching hundreds of thousands of people along the way.

As a Haitian-American woman, this recognition is especially meaningful. To be celebrated within the Caribbean community for work that has always centered culture feels like a beautiful full-circle moment.

And 25 years into this journey, I'm still learning, evolving, and finding new ways to make wellness more accessible, inclusive, and culturally connected.

Thank you to Carib Biz Network (CBN) for recognizing this work and for creating space to celebrate Caribbean excellence. Congratulations to my fellow nominees! 🇭🇹✨

Hey you! ✨

These photos represent different moments throughout my years of practicing yoga. Different poses, different seasons, and different expressions of my practice.

But what you don't see in a photograph is everything that brought me there.

The repetition. The patience. The stumbling and, yes, the falling. The moments when something finally clicked and the times when I had to return to the foundation.

I created Funky Poses & Flow from my own journey and from what my students kept asking for.

I wanted to go deeper in my practice, but there weren't many spaces to explore intermediate and advanced asanas with intentional guidance. So I spent years learning through self-practice, exploration, and trial and error.

My students wanted that same opportunity: a consistent space to explore, ask questions, build skills, and grow.

That's why Funky Poses & Flow is about more than getting into a challenging pose.

It's about understanding what makes the pose possible.

Through active practice and intention, we develop awareness. That awareness helps us recognize our capacity, building the strength, mobility, stability, and confidence to explore what's next.

You may not achieve your goal pose during the workshop, and that's okay. My intention is for you to leave understanding the building blocks and how to continue developing your practice.
