Home

So, it’s true.

There is no place like home. There is NO place like home.

Man, I have never felt this feeling so strongly before. In this time of pandemic and pandamonium it almost feels strange to say that I am experience the greatest joy of my lifetime. I feel an alignment like never before. And I have my make, corona and Mother Africa to thank. And of course Yemaya! The ocean called me here 100%.

The greatest gift that corona has given me is the opportunity to return to the land of my ancestors.

This place is so raw, so real, so intense and oh so EXTRAaaa. And, I love it.

I was called here, pulled here, redirected here and I am so happy that I listened to the call, made the plans, faced the fears, stayed silent about my plans and took an incredible leap of faith across continents, with my babies right by my side.

Best decision I ever made.

Thank you mother Africa for reconnecting me to my UJAMAA ir extended family here.

I have met so many amazing brothers and sisters here like really long lost brothers, cousins, sisters, friends, etc. I can affirm with all my heart how much we need eachother. My desire to connect the diaspora is even stronger. The desire to create safe spaces for us to heal and connect even more profound. This is my life’s work…to do what I can to reconnect us, so we can heal, be free and thrive.

Thrive in love, in community, in business and more, as our maker intended for us.
