Surprisingly (NOT) they have had some of my lowest numbers because when you start calling out the blatant racism and white supremacy that fuels our businesses and lives, it makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

I had a partial hysterectomy almost 11 years ago. I had really bad fibroids – 4 6-7mm. My uterus was the size of a 5 month pregnant woman. I first found out about them when I had an abortion when I was 21. The Dr. said they were common – esp in black women and they “didn’t know why. Perhaps generations of “racial trauma”? There is no scientific evidence as to why black women are more prone to fibroids but there is a theory that “weathering” could be a potential cause. Wea...

If you don’t fear change, you’re an anomaly I believe that we all fear change – although we KNOW that it’s enivitable, we try SO DAMN HARD to keep things “satus quo” so there are no surprises and we can control things.

Up until about 5 years ago, I used to focus on weight loss with all of my clients because I understood the desire to be smaller. Diet culture is deeply rooted in a LOT of us and it is also a VERY large part of the health and fitness industry so trying to undo and unlearn a lot of this, is a constant battle. When we become obsessed with the size of our bodies and forget about the mental load of “always” having to get a workout in and only eating chicken breast and salad, it’s d...

Why are there only white women talking about menopause? Well, not ONLY white women, but let’s be honest – primarily white womenWhen we think of our world; the system and power, the most powerful person is the white man. Second to him is the white woman. Yes white women are oppressed but NOT more than black, brown and indigenous men. In the levels of heirarchy, black men are at the bottom and below them, are black women. Black women are at the very bottom of the list. Period. Yes.....
