A dark brown woman walks barefoot across a golden desert at dusk, her flowy earth-toned dress lifted gently by the wind. The camera captures her from behind, mid-step, with each footprint behind her glowing faintly with unseen light. The horizon stretches wide and open, mountains casting long shadows, as the warm amber sky envelops the entire scene in a sense of reverence and quiet revelation. She moves forward without hesitation, her presence commanding and soft all at once. There is no rush—only rhythm. Her path doesn’t erase the past—it transforms it.

Releasing Insecurity

Releasing Insecurity Last week, I caught myself shrinking. Again. I was about to speak up—heart open, words ready—and suddenly, this familiar fog rolled in, as if to block the flow of thought within me, to prevent me from expressing something at work and with someone I care about. It didn’t come loud or chaotic. It came quietly, like a shadow sliding across my chest. The kind of doubt that doesn’t just question my idea—it questions my right to say it out loud. My body tensed. My voice softened. I adjusted my posture, my tone, my presence. And I didn’t say what I really wanted to say. In that moment, I recognized what was happening—insecurity moving through my space again. I asked myself if I invited…

A radiant Black woman sits at the head of a long, ancient table, cloaked in deep fabrics that shimmer like galaxies and velvet. Her crown is not just gold; it pulses with memory and magic. Her eyes hold lifetimes. Around her sit five distinct figures, each embodying a different facet of her shadow and strength. One wears a skeletal grin and a top hat, laughing with death and timing. Another is cloaked in feathers and watches with regal distance, protecting the parts that trust slowly. A third glows with molten gold eyes and vine-wrapped limbs, the part that thrives in chaos. The fourth shimmers with cosmic skin, a keeper of visions and the unseen. The last is mist with gemstone tears, carrying the grief that shaped her into something precious. This is not a war. It is a gathering. A feast of power, truth, and transformation. The woman at the head is not haunted by her shadows. She invites them in, feeds them, and listens. She is the architect of the ritual, the fire in the center, the story they all serve.

Feasting with My Inner Villains

Feasting with My Inner Villains A Ceremony of Shadow and Sovereignty There is a table within me. A long, ornate table lit by candlelight and courage. Around it sit the parts of myself I once tried to exile—the inner villains I feared, avoided, and judged. But now I invite them to dine. Not to tame them. Not to fight them. But to listen, to witness, to understand. This is no ordinary feast. This is a ritual of reclamation. Each of these inner archetypes once stormed through my life like uninvited guests, disrupting my peace, stealing my clarity. Doubt told me I was never enough. Anger flared when I felt invisible. Fear froze me in place just as I tried to leap. I used to call…

A radiant Black woman sits in stillness, surrounded by fractured teal and gold mirrors that curve into a vortex behind her. Her eyes are closed, lips parted in soft release, and a glowing orange light burns in the center of her chest—alive, sacred, untouchable. Her teal gown billows around her like a wave of self-remembering. Though the mirrors around her reflect fragments, she remains whole.

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice The Dark Side of Spirituality Spirituality is sacred to me. It’s where I go to remember who I am, to reconnect with meaning, with Spirit, with peace. But I’ve learned that not everything wrapped in spiritual language is rooted in love or truth. Some teachings, some leaders, some communities—hide harm behind divinity. This is spiritual malpractice. And I speak on it because I’ve lived it. I once trusted a spiritual teacher who spoke the language of light—but moved through the world with deception, control, and coercion. At first, the wisdom felt powerful. I thought I had found someone who could see me. But over time, I realized I wasn’t being seen—I was being shaped into someone more manageable. More profitable. Easier to…
