Who Are The Copper-Colored Aboriginals?

It is documented that “copper-colored” Aboriginals have lived on the American continent for over fifty-thousand years. There are many early documents describing the phenotype of Aboriginal Americans prior to European invasion. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of the famed “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (1853), describes in detail the phenotype of the Aboriginal…

Afro-Cuban Dance Detroit

Pics and video of me from this summer’s Afro-Cuban dance class taught by Mama Lisa, founder of Iyawo Folkloric Dance Theater here in Detroit. Overall for me it was a liberating experience for me, tapping deeper into my divine feminine and embracing my sensual side.

We started off every dance session with meditation, breathing exercise, and prayer honoring our ancestors and the healing mother…

Why I Chose Locs (6 Months Loc'd)

Why I Chose Locs (6 Months Loc’d)

Peace & Halito! I wanted to share with you all an update on my loc journey and the reason as to why I chose this journey. My loc birthday is June 9, 2018 and I reached my half-year mark (6 months LOC’D) on December 9, 2018. So far the journey has taught me well and has helped me to appreciate myself and the world around me in its natural state 🙂

Really enjoyed myself last Friday with Mama Ravin at the Winter Solstice Celebration hosted by the American Indian Health and Family Services. Very amazing experience and connected with some good-hearted people. The energy was empowering and healing as we set our intentions for the winter solstice and the full moon in Cancer. I’m also loving my new shaman drum that I purchased from a man for only $60!

Broken Mirrors: Shattering Illusions

Broken Mirrors: Shattering Illusions

In the past few years I’ve shattered the illusion of politics realizing the power needed for change and liberation was within. I’ve shattered the illusion of organized religion and in place adopted universal laws and principles. I shattered the illusion of pharmaceuticals, seeing now that I can heal myself and that lives foods combined with the power of the Most High are my medicine. I shattered…

Last weekend’s Afro-Herbalism class was amazing! We tasted and took home samples of these ashwagandha droplets. Ashwagandha is an herb that’s good for balancing the body, supporting the brain and nervous system. So if you have high anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, or any other nervous-related issues, this is said to help. When I tell you this herb is sooo potent! I took a few drops and I was instantly relaxed. We also tasted a lemongrass simple syrup and raw sassafras root as a sassafras decoction. Sassafras has long been used by our ancestors as a blood cleanser. So if you have high blood sugar or other toxins in your blood, sassafras is a go-to herb! 🌿🍃🌺

  Peace & Blessings,
