What would happen if you trusted your body as your primary teacher? I bet most of us would not fall “sick” anywhere near as much as we do. It’s like, I used to view myself as ‘crazy’ – that something was seriously wrong with me. Until I shifted environments and found people who saw me as wise and level-headed. That was when my symptoms of being ‘crazy’ disappeared. Same same with my body. What I’ve been describing as a disorder? I’m now recognizing as my body’s persistent attempts to communicate with me. It’s been complaining for years now. I’ve been ignoring it, trying to appear ‘normal’ for violent systems that threatened the well-being of myself and my daughter. So, its signals have become harder to overlook.. My hunch is that it’s reflecting its complete lack of ease (dis-ease) with my environment. I anticipate that shifting environments will resolve this. So I’m choosing to listen to its cues and give it the best environment possible so it can support this crucial work I’ve been entrusted with. What about you? What is your body telling you? How are you listening? In gratitude, Deborah.

After attending AI Festivus, I was moved to create something that lives at the intersection of tech, community, and culture — and centers us. Introducing Dimensions of Blackness:👉🏾 https://dimensionsofblackness.lovable.app/ An AI-guided experience featuring 8 digital wellness voices exploring the many layers of Black identity, healing, and wholeness. But this isn’t just about AI. This is about the REAL people in our Power Circle — the brilliant entrepreneurs and leaders inside this very community. They are my daily inspiration, and this project is built to reflect, uplift, and amplify all of us. Take a look. Feel it. Drop your thoughts. Spread the word, tell a friend!
