Been sitting on this one for a little while đŸ„č I’ve shared pieces of what it’s been like building a life in Mexico over the last few years, but there’s so much about this experience that I haven’t really talked about. The beautiful parts, the hard parts, the practical parts, the parts that changed me. And I think I’m finally ready to open that conversation back up. Root & Rise is coming back. đŸŒ± But it’s growing with me. Less “here’s how to move abroad” and more
what does it actually mean to build a life somewhere new? I have sooooo much I want to share. Some people I want you to meet. Some conversations I’ve been wanting to have. And a pretty big next chapter of my own that I’m bringing y’all along for 👀đŸ‡ČđŸ‡œ Anyway lol, consider this the beginning. Move abroad with me. 🌎 We’re just getting started. 23 Sep 2026 There are so many ways for us to work together. đŸŒ± Over the years, my work has continued to expand and evolve, but the foundation remains the same: embodiment, liberation, cultural care, and supporting people in reclaiming their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and their communities. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, reconnecting with your body and ancestral wisdom, bringing a creative vision into the world, or seeking to create more culturally responsive spaces of care, there are several ways we can collaborate. I’m currently welcoming opportunities for speaking engagements, workshops, individual embodiment sessions, relocation coaching, writing mentorship, postpartum and parenting support, and professional consultation. Swipe through to explore the different ways we can work together. ✹ If something resonates with you, leave a comment below sharing which offering you’re interested in, or simply drop a đŸŒ± and I’ll follow up with more information about availability and next steps. There’s no need to share anything personal in the comments. You’re welcome to just name the offering that speaks to you. Looking forward to what we can create together. 💛 #BlackAndEmbodied #Embodiment #SomaticHealing #BlackWomenHealing #CulturalCare 21 Oct 2026 I am feeling so honoured to have been part of this beautiful and necessary conversation with @amiebnewman 🌿✹ We spoke about healing, reclamation, & the ways our histories live in our bodies, and it was such a gift to share space in this dialogue. Amie is also currently seeking submissions for her upcoming anthology, This Is Not Your Mother’s Eating Disorder — a collection centering the voices of midlife women navigating body image, nourishment, and identity. The anthology welcomes personal essays, cultural critiques, poetry, and illustrations from woman-identified writers. There’s a stigma to eating disorders at any age, but for older women, that shame can feel especially isolating. This anthology is reclaiming that narrative, and submissions are open until November 30th đŸ€ 11 Nov 2025 DĂ­a de Muertos, Part III đŸ•ŻïžđŸŒŒ The final chapter of our DĂ­a de Muertos series unfolded on Quinta Avenida—surrounded by Catrinas, color, music, live art, food, and my child taking it all in. What these images don’t show is that earlier that same day, stress and heavy lifting left me with a painful muscle contracture and limited range of motion. I rested, received care, and recovered enough to join the celebration that evening. I don’t share this to romanticize pushing through pain. I share it because beautiful moments do not always come from easy days. The pain was real. So was the joy. From sitting for our caricature to standing beneath illuminated Catrinas, the night reminded me that celebration does not have to deny what the body endured. Sometimes it is how we honor that we are still here. With gratitude to the artists, families, and community who filled Playa with memory, beauty, and life. ✹ — DĂ­a de Muertos, Parte III đŸ•ŻïžđŸŒŒ El Ășltimo capĂ­tulo de nuestra serie del DĂ­a de Muertos se desarrollĂł en la Quinta Avenida—entre Catrinas, colores, mĂșsica, arte, comida y mi hijo descubriĂ©ndolo todo. Lo que estas imĂĄgenes no muestran es que, ese mismo dĂ­a, el estrĂ©s y cargar peso me provocaron una contractura muscular dolorosa que limitĂł mi movilidad. DescansĂ©, recibĂ­ atenciĂłn y me recuperĂ© lo suficiente para acompañar la celebraciĂłn esa noche. No lo comparto para romantizar el hecho de seguir adelante a pesar del dolor. Lo comparto porque los momentos hermosos no siempre nacen de dĂ­as fĂĄciles. El dolor fue real. La alegrĂ­a tambiĂ©n. Desde posar para nuestra caricatura hasta estar bajo las Catrinas iluminadas, la noche me recordĂł que celebrar no significa negar lo que el cuerpo atravesĂł. A veces, tambiĂ©n es una manera de honrar que seguimos aquĂ­. Con gratitud hacia los artistas, las familias y toda la comunidad que llenĂł Playa de memoria, belleza y vida. ✹ #DiaDeMuertos #JanalPixan #PlayaDelCarmen #embodiedliving 06 Nov 2026 How many times have you had to become someone new while still grieving who you used to be? Rebirth is messy. Sometimes liberating. Sometimes terrifying. And rarely something we get to do on our own terms. Next week in Office Hours, we're getting into the grief, surrender, and embodied practice of becoming. Because returning to ourselves isn't always about going backward. Sometimes we're meeting parts of ourselves we've never known. Join guest facilitator Alishia McCullough, Dr. Jenn, and our Office Hours community for a live space to ask the hard questions, unpack what rebirth asks of us, and explore how we stay connected to ourselves through change, uncertainty, and all the messy in-between.

At the altars, I felt love, grief, and a sacred rage. What didn’t fit into the voiceover is this: honoring our ancestors cannot stop at remembering them beautifully. It must shape how we protect the living. That is why I believe ICE should be dismantled, no one is illegal on stolen land, and no system should rank human worth through race, class, birthplace, or papers. I thought about Indigenous lands divided by borders and families separated by them: they didn’t cross the border; the border crossed them. I’m learning to live here respectfully—not to claim a tradition that isn’t mine, but to listen, witness, and be changed. I’m also challenging myself to speak more Spanish in these vlogs. Conversational Spanish is one thing; narrating history and culture is another 😅 Extend me a little grace while I practice out loud. How do we honor the dead through the way we care for the living? — Parte 2 đŸ•ŻïžđŸŒŒ Nuestra noche pasĂł de pedir dulces, a las ofrendas del municipio y finalmente a la Quinta Avenida—donde Halloween y DĂ­a de Muertos compartĂ­an la calle, pero no eran lo mismo. Frente a los altares sentĂ­ amor, duelo y una rabia sagrada. Honrar a nuestros ancestros no puede terminar en recordarlos de una manera hermosa; tambiĂ©n debe transformar cĂłmo protegemos a quienes siguen aquĂ­. Por eso creo que ICE debe ser desmantelado, que ninguna persona es ilegal en tierra robada y que ningĂșn sistema debe decidir nuestro valor por raza, clase, origen o papeles. Pienso en territorios indĂ­genas divididos por fronteras y en familias separadas: ellos no cruzaron la frontera; la frontera los cruzĂł a ellos. Sigo aprendiendo a vivir aquĂ­ con respeto: para escuchar, ser testigo y dejarme transformar. ÂżCĂłmo construimos un mundo donde pertenecer no exija borrar nuestras raĂ­ces? 04 Nov 2026 My family live and died in America, hm Good ol’ USA, shit (Good ol’ USA) Whole lotta red in that white and blue, huh History can’t be erased, ooh You lookin’ for a new America? (America) Are you tired, workin’ time and a half for half the pay? (Half the pay) Ya-ya (Ooh-ooh) I just pray that we don’t crash, keep my Bible on the dash We gotta keep the faith (Ya) 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 04 Nov 2026 “Todas somos Catrinas.” đŸ€đŸŒŒ Year 3 in MĂ©xico đŸ™ŒđŸŸ Day two of our celebrations took Ori, my little one, and me to Xcaret’s Festival de Tradiciones de Vida y Muerte. An evening of traditional dances, music, performances, and food—mole, pozole, cafĂ© de olla, and so many flavors I’ve come to know and love living here. Something I want to keep highlighting throughout this series: DĂ­a de Muertos is distinct from Halloween, and there isn’t one universal way everyone in Mexico celebrates it. Traditions vary across regions, communities, and families. Here in the YucatĂĄn Peninsula, Maya traditions of remembrance are part of that story. This year, the festival also welcomed Guanajuato as its guest state, bringing its own cultural expressions into the celebration. I’m opening this recap with a mural here in Playa del Carmen rather than a title card. I want to continue highlighting the artists whose work lives throughout this city. For me, sharing life within a culture also means learning, recognizing the people creating and sustaining it, and using my platform to amplify their work. I’m still confirming who created this particular mural. If you recognize the artist, please tag them so I can credit them properly. đŸ€ This video is a little longer than usual but I wanted to give the experience room to breathe, with less narration from me and more space for the performances and the songs I chose, whose lyrics speak to remembrance, celebration, and the meaning of these days. Come spend a little of the evening with us. đŸ•Żïž 02 Nov 2026 We are in celebration mode over here! đŸŽƒđŸŒŒđŸ€ Over the past few days, we’ve been making memories and experiencing some of the beautiful festivities happening here in Playa del Carmen, MĂ©xico. So far, we’ve celebrated: 🎃 Baby Halloween 💀 Festival de Tradiciones de Vida y Muerte at Xcaret 🍬 Trick-or-treating đŸŒŒ Janal PixĂĄn đŸ•Żïž DĂ­a de Muertos parade And we’ll see what else unfolds over the next few days. đŸ€ I’m excited to share these experiences through a little series, beginning with our Baby Halloween celebration! But beyond the costumes, decorations, and festivities, I also want to make space for the history, cultural significance, and traditions behind what we’re experiencing. Halloween and DĂ­a de Muertos are not the same celebration, and while their festivities may overlap on the calendar, they carry distinct histories, meanings, and cultural practices. As I share more from our celebrations, I want to explore those distinctions, honor the communities and traditions that sustain them, and reflect on what it means to experience these celebrations while raising my little one here in MĂ©xico. A little celebration, a little cultural learning, and a whole lot of memories. đŸŒŒđŸ€ Part 1: Baby Halloween đŸŽƒđŸ‘» 01 Nov 2026 Parenthood house of horrors 😂 The photos are only part of it. It’s trying to shower or use the bathroom in peace because you’re convinced they’re distracted—only to look up and realize your baby has silently appeared. It’s the neighborhood dogs suddenly having everything to say right when the baby goes down for a nap. đŸ€·đŸœâ€â™€ïž It’s finally getting them to sleep, accidentally bumping into something, and somehow making the loudest sound you’ve made all day. It’s lowering them into bed one millimeter at a time, only for their eyes to pop open the moment their body separates from yours. It’s visiting friends and family whose homes aren’t childproofed and spending the entire visit running behind your child, trying to keep both them and the house intact. đŸ”„đŸ§Ż It’s cleaning the car seat only to discover every snack they’ve ever had. Lift the flap, there’s more 😭 And my personal favorite: finally sitting down and apparently announcing that the human jungle gym is now open. 😅 All while “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” plays somewhere in the background. Parents, what belongs in the parenthood house of horrors that I missed? 😂 Happy Halloween 🎃 01 Nov 2026 I’m opening space for Clinical & Cultural Consultation through Black & Embodied. An opportunity for therapists, counselors, and helping professionals to explore the complexities of clinical practice through culturally responsive, embodied, and liberatory approaches to care. Rooted in my clinical experience and the values explored in Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within, these conversations can hold questions around eating imbalances, body liberation, trauma, race, identity, power, and the cultural, ancestral, and relational dimensions of healing. This is a space to explore together. To bring curiosity to our clinical assumptions, consider the broader systems shaping the people we serve, and imagine more expansive possibilities for care. 60-minute virtual consultations Standard rate: $175 Equity rate: $150 My pricing reflects a commitment to racial and economic equity. The equity rate is available to BIPOC practitioners and professionals navigating financial barriers. Rates are self-selected, without documentation or explanation. To inquire or request a consultation, email [email protected] with the subject Professional Consultation. Professional consultation is distinct from therapy and formal clinical supervision. Please share only de-identified case information. #BlackAndEmbodied #ReclaimingTheBlackBody #ClinicalConsultation #Embodiment #BodyLiberation CulturallyResponsiveCare 29 Oct 2026 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜, and there are so many parts of experiencing abuse that we still don’t talk about enough. We talk about leaving harmful relationships, but far less about what it means when the person you turn to for safety is also the person causing the harm. We don’t talk enough about the invisible forms of abuse, the ways our bodies adapt to instability, or the complexity of loving someone while recognizing the harm they’ve caused. We don’t talk enough about what happens when communities grow impatient, support becomes conditional, or survivors are left carrying the emotional, financial, legal, and practical consequences of establishing safety. And we certainly don’t talk enough about the pressure survivors, particularly Black women, face to turn their suffering into a story of resilience before they’ve had the opportunity to recover. Healing doesn’t require us to minimize what happened, rush toward forgiveness, or make our anger more palatable for others. We can recognize someone’s humanity without excusing their behavior. We can have compassion without abandoning our boundaries. We can honor our anger without allowing it to dictate our actions. I created this carousel to make room for these often-overlooked conversations, including the ways harm can continue after separation and what it actually takes to rebuild. I’m grateful for the creators whose reflections are included throughout these slides. Survivors deserve more than advice about what they should have done differently. They deserve safety, dignity, resources, accountability, and communities willing to help carry the weight of rebuilding. And you don’t have to turn your pain into something inspirational for it to deserve care. đŸ€Ž Resources: đŸ‡ș🇾 National DV Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 | Text START to 88788 đŸ‡ČđŸ‡œ Emergency assistance: 911 | LĂ­nea de las Mujeres: 079, opciĂłn 1 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #BlackAndEmbodied #SurvivorSupport #EmotionalAbuse #BlackWomenHealing 27 Oct 2026
