There is theory.
Then there is practice.
I know grief takes time
yet am real-eyes-ing the truth of the matter.
I say my healing must be active,
but sometimes it’s not.
Sometimes it is stagnant,
like still water.
Sometimes it’s
a spiraling staircase,
unanswered questions
and insecurities.
Everyday I walk up those stairs
and back down again.
Writing memos to myself.
Sometimes it’s a blank stare,
a void;
disturbing silence that I strangely appreciate.
Sometimes it’s distant music
playing in the background of my heart’s race.
It’s sleepless nights.
Pinot Grigio or Noir just because,
maybe the words will spill out easier.
It’s long hot showers,
quiet sobs
and fanning my face afterward
to avoid worrying my youngest .☀️
Sometimes it’s a knot in my throat,
butterflies fluttering in my womb
sweaty palms
as I scroll through my camera roll
looking for a specific picture of my husband to share
but finding most of my eldest
from his sunrise to his sunset.
My vision gets blurred,
I take a deep breath and
I pray I keep my focus,
I elevate,
I find my peace
and learn to smile often again.
I surrender.

He came like a silent storm,
naturally born in a squat next to my bed.
I felt him crowning quickly
my sister friend held me,
supporting me through the waves.
He came earth side quietly.
He didn’t cry yet was well and strong.
Perfectly designed, flesh of my flesh.
My whole body & mind shifted.
I died for him and was reborn.
This was an easy birth,
My first born broke & prepared me
So I was more ready.
We named him Hannibal,
claiming his power from such divine time.
His energy calm, disciplined
even still as he matures,
he opens the door now to the next level.
My young king, second born, turned 16 today.
His facial hair and base tone
remind me he’s not a boy anymore
but knows I will always be his mama.
I got his back through the thick of it
cuz that’s how I mother.
Yes I hover sometimes,
just enough to know he’s safe
and not losing his self in the beast state.
He’ll be driving soon.
Then graduating and so on.
I’m grateful, elated,
excited for the growth and his evolution.
I love to see my sons take their position,
Find & live their purpose.
I wonder who will he become
and at once, let it be as it may.
Faithful that he will be just fine.
And so will I ☺️.

Happy Solar Return Sun☀️

The Power of Umoja
Kwanzaa 2022
2023 started in Collective Strength & Black Love

When family extends beyond bloodline
and growth is rooted in beautiful memories
inscribed in pix like this-
making us smile, laugh and reflect on
how far we’ve come
how sweet it has been
and how great we are
especially when we build together.

I’m so grateful for all of y’all for all the reasons y’all already know ❤️🖤💚

Kemetic Yoga is my foundation in terms of movement practices. Even when I practice & apply other modalities & techniques, I tend to return to the Kemetic Yoga Skills Method.

Today I uploaded a video to YouTube (link below) which demonstrates sequences which in essence harmonize divine masculine & feminine energies. These sequences seem simple but they are complex in how the breath flows through the body and how energy is activated to flow through the spine.

With consistent practice, it all coalesces into a beautiful moving meditation which will help release blockages in the physical, mental and energetic body promoting health, longevity, spinal flexibility, mental clarity and overall well being.

There are modulations to some of these poses in my other videos if needed.

Let me know your thoughts & how it feels in your body 🙏🏽🫶🏽

The Kemetic Yoga Skills Method is heavily focused on the breath & energy. We know we are energetic beings and this practice enables us to make a connection w...

I had a whole photo shoot after my translation gig yesterday just cuz I was feeling my outfit ☺️ 🥰.

I really need to get back on my sewing machine & update my wardrobe with my creations cuz I can’t fit into most of the dresses I previously made.

I also realized I need to consciously think of how to pose for the camera… 🤦🏻‍♀️ it can be a lil awkward 🙃
