Hey Healers, Light Beings, Seekers of Knowledge and Truth! You’ve boldly entered my mind! This space is where I share most of my life lessons that I’ve gained over the years of my nomadic journey. I must warn you, some of this material can be triggering to those who refuse to do the self inner work. To that extinct, I unapologetically share this healing space. You will NOT leave the same. Our words heal the deepest wounds.
So what you will find here is a collection of my experiences both in written and video. As a writer, I love to express my emotions in written form. As a healer, visual aids work best. I’m combining a mixture of both, and hopefully we will meet somewhere in between! Sooooooo much happen in-between ;)
Women over 40 know menopause brings struggles of all sorts. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and stocking up on hormone therapy can be overwhelming. But despite the challenges, there is also a sense of triumph that comes with surviving the blood each month.

Jollof rice is a CLASSIC in West Africa. It really wasn’t until I moved to Ghana that I realized how much they LOVED jollof rice. The problem is.. I don’t like it 🙁 And the fact that I didnt’ resonate with my ancestors bothered me so that I decided to do a little research to find a way to enjoy a dish that is so loved by my people. It’s all about connection for me.
This was my very first time making this dish, and I totally made up the spices based on all of my favs and what was available in the market here in Ghana! It turned out delicious! You have to try it.
