Connect with your Ancestral Wisdom

And Discover Your Belonging.

 

 

Belonging is a sense of security and support. 

It's a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity.

 

Your sense of Belonging has been sabotaged throughout history by deliberate ruptures in your Ancestral lineages. 

  

 

THESE BREAKS CAN HAPPEN IN SO MANY WAYS: 

 

Maybe you never had the chance to know your history (colonialism - the Black sacred feminine was erased), or...

 

you were taken from it (enslavement), or...

 

your history was hidden from you (the erasure of critical race theory), or... 

 

The systems are set up to make you forget...and it is NOT YOUR FAULT.

Belonging transforms us.

It gives us purpose, resilience and clarity of values.

 

BELONGINGNESS CHANGES HOW WE MOVE THROUGH THE WORLD...

more confidently,

more carefree,

more victoriously…

 

Healing the Ancestral ruptures by reconnecting with your ancestral wisdom will support you in activating your belonging.

The good news is:

 

No matter why the rupture happened, you have a whole ancestral posse at your back waiting to guide and support you.

 

 

Remembering our ancestors connects us to the medicine in our roots. 

 

It helps us understand where we come from. 

 

This knowledge of our heritage provides a sense of identity and belonging.

 

You can access and ignite the ancestral wisdom that already lives within you.

 

Maybe you can feel this in your bones?

It's because it was in their bones, too.

A color image of the continent of Africa in greens, browns and yellows is above a sea with swirling waters and clouds in white. There is a bright gold star emanating from the center of the country. The image is surrounded with a Black border with a gold line in it. Below the circular image is a rectangular swath of gold foil and above it to the left are golden burst lines peeking out from behind.

My teacher, Ancestor Malidoma Somé, taught that our ancestors need us to do their work and we need them to tend the fires – our vision, passion and dreams – within us.

 

THIS RECIPROCAL CONNECTION IS DIVINE.

 

And like any other living thing that needs tending, the more you nurture this connection, the more you will benefit. Your container will strengthen, the ancestral messages will come through with more clarity, and you will create an unbreakable bond with your lineage wisdom.

 

It is a practice that alchemizes.

A pair of Black hands are pressed together at the wrist, palms facing upward, an making a cup-like shape. Above them in the center is a moth with tan, off white and dark brown wings with circles of orange, peach and black. Below the hands a few down the arm is a branch with green leaves sitting horizontally across.

My Medicine Is To Help You Remember 

 

Utilizing the wisdom of the Black Goddesses, Divination and Community, I support you in exploring what it means to:

  • Revision your medicine

  • Tend to your indigenous heart, and

  • Live your ancestral wisdom in a colonial world.

 

 

I know that our ancestors hold a wealth of wisdom, guidance, and love that can shape our lives in remarkable ways. 

 

Ancestral wisdom comes from their struggles, triumphs, traditions, and values that have been passed down through generations.

 

By honoring and connecting with them, we tap into a powerful source of support and protection. We unlock the keys to our own personal growth and spiritual evolution.

 

Our shared history forms a foundation upon which we build our own lives, creating a sense of continuity and connection with those who came before us.

 

IN EACH OF US LIVES THEIR RESILIENCE, RESISTANCE, AND RITUALS. 

There is an image of an altar with a nude black woman carving holding a basket above her head with one arm in the center. Behind the figurine is to the left is a wide red candle with a lit wick. Behind that candle is a branch with green leaves. In front of the carving is a dark colored bowl with incense burning, and a pile of small cowrie shells in front of it. There is a large white spotted cowrie shell in front to the left, a cone shaped glass behind it filled with seeds. On the right of the statue is a squared glass of water, with a woven African woven basket with a conical top in front of it and an orange carnelian stone to the right.
In a circle with a thin white border is a closeup color photo of Panda, a medium skin toned Black woman with dark purple lipstick and black cat-eyed eyeliner. She is wearing contemporary metal framed rounded oversized aviator eyeglasses. Her eyes are brown and her brows are sculpted in a slightly rounded shape with a slight gap in the right brow where a piercing might be worn. She has large dark hoop earrings, a nasal septum ring and a shaved head.

PANDA, PROFESSIONAL TAROT READER

“This investment in yourself and your well-being allows you to do and be better at all the things that life demands of you. I mean, definitely you're worth it.” 

This is not just a course…it’s a community and healing and just radical self care and empowerment. And now I just feel like I can take up space. I've done so much more for myself, for my business, just being brave, and being bold and being black and being here, and it's just been absolutely life-changing.
