I recently took a Keys to Black Self-Love course and learned the many ways I haven't loved myself as a woman darker than blue. The bio shared here (courses have long version) discloses my past jobs at many Black organizations, including the National Council of Negro Women. Please keep reading -- I will join these two concepts! Nya Akoma means, Get a Heart, Love... or Be Patient, in Twi, the language of the Akan. One of my teachers, breathologist Mama Ayo Handy-Kendi, created Black Love Day 33 years ago, when she created the African American Holiday Association. (breathe w/her in our Reiki course) Because I LOVE dealing with every single person as a SOUL, it takes work to stretch my compassion to encompass, embrace, disclose the influence and importance of my heritage. Ah, yes. This IS the work. I notice Skools are hosted by a sea of people not of my (visible) background. Yet we all may have to care for elderly, special needs children or adults, or special groups that are our assignment. Working together WORKS! We can learn from one another-->this is the point. Knowing me doesn't take away from you, or from you knowing who you are. My self-love, this AKOMA, is bigger than mainstream fear. All those groups I've worked for were about fearlessly learning and growing into the best of who we are, despite "other than blue" factors, e.g., White people, the social construct, etc.. This B&W thing points to the collective healing of the human being. I surrender to my role in this part. This is a spiritual quest. At least, it's part of mine. BTW - Why adinkra symbols are NOT a part of the emoji line-up baffles me! The heart is NOT to be closed in. Open hearts y'all. I welcome comments.

Thank you so much for approving me to join this amazing community! I’m super excited to be here and connect with all of you. 🥰

As I consider the future of the 19-year service, The HealMobile, and our stop at Skool - definitely a HealMobile STATION - I'm soul searching. I just took 4 minutes to indulge on YT with this Donald Byrd mellowness. Try it. Receive the healing from the horn, flute, vocals- "Where are we going? And what's the future showing...?" Enjoy and let me know how it lands. Breathe and rock with me back to '73...(I'm that kind of OG). https://youtu.be/-6CEryWus_A?si=gH5lFzKHZJka4-M6

Something about....I can be my true self. LinkedIn feels a bit too aspirational and PROfessional. I retired from all that! Instagram feels flighty as all get-out, to the extent I want to RUN FAST from nonsense that pops up. YouTube feels like a final frontier, i.e., when I grow up I wanna be like the tubers I see on there. Really nourishing tubers. I'm already there and inconsistently so. We're headed for change! Everything requires so much preparation and when I learn the rules, they change them. This is what happened with Facebook. I have a personal and "pro" page, with 2 different Messengers. And Substack, new-ish for me and another "wanna be when I grow" TOWARDS not up. It's what it looks like to feel free to muse on paper - electronically - full time, something like Medium, which I don't follow anymore and I'm not sure why. Here, I'm bumping up against the need to support myself post-retirement from a j.o.b. that did serve a good purpose. I give thanks to GodAlmighty for that. Evidently, and I'm not surprised, NOW is my time to release, relax, reset, and be the creative Work of ART that I claim for others. Work-in-progress never ends AND IS ALWAYS WORK. Works of ART exist in their own right, right where they are. To be enjoyed...

One of the aims of HealMobile courses is to have people real-eyes, literally realize, that they are forces of nature. In my partially metaphysical, partially pragmatic world, I envision people carrying themselves, flying, if you will, towards states of joy and prosperity they've never attained. Mind, body, spirit, emotions, family, community, culture, country, world. I've uploaded my courses from another platform and am part of the NASDAQ Milestone Program to assist me in structuring the self-healing branding and offering strategies. Therefore, YOU are welcome to visit the courses and join me as a founding member of Skool's HealMobile (pronounced heel-mo-beel btw). It will take a moment to decide whether courses will be free, charging, offering tiers, etc. The NASDAQ program is 12 weeks and I should have some decisions made way before the end I hope! We are transformation transPORTation on the Overground Railroad, doing our best to campaign for health freedom--that's the nutshell. Self-healing HealMobiles ~ your thoughts and feedback are appreciated.
