About Me - Why I Created SoulMed

I didn’t create SoulMed because it sounded good on paper. I created it because my body, my spirit, and my life forced me to tell the truth about what I was carrying.

For years, I lived the cycle so many Black women know by heart: high-achieving, emotionally available, spiritually starving.

I was leading social-justice campaigns, carrying communities, running at full speed—while quietly unraveling inside.

My nervous system was depleted. My joy was thin. My body kept waving red flags I kept pushing through.

Like so many of us, I didn’t slow down until the crash came.

Burnout wasn’t a buzzword for me; it was a wake-up call.

A “your life cannot continue like this” moment.

A reckoning that no amount of brilliance or resilience can save you if your spirit is running on empty.

That unraveling became my doorway.

I dug into emotional wellness, trauma-informed practices, nervous system healing, nutrition, and the cultural realities shaping Black women’s stress. Slowly, I rebuilt myself—softness first, structure second, purpose on top of that.

Through that process, I realized something that changed everything:

Black women aren’t overwhelmed because we’re weak.

We’re overwhelmed because we’ve been carrying generations of what the world refuses to hold.

SoulMed is the sanctuary I needed.

Empowerment is the mission—full stop. Not the superficial “treat yourself” kind, but the deep, soul-rooted liberation that lets us breathe, feel, regulate, rest, and rise.

My background informs every inch of this work:

  • Certified integrative nutrition health coach

  • 25 years of leadership across equity and social-justice movements

  • Creator of the unBEAcoming philosophy and the Get Curious™ framework

  • Co-author of affirmation books dog-eared on nightstands across the country

  • Facilitator of sold-out workshops women describe as “life-saving,” “uplifting,” and “exactly what I needed”

I built SoulMed for the women who do the most, hold the most, and deserve more than a wellness trend. Here, healing isn’t another task on your list—it’s a rhythm. Here, you’re not the strong friend—you’re a whole human with needs, edges, softness, and brilliance.

SoulMed isn’t self-care lite. It’s a sisterhood. A homecoming. A reclamation.

If your spirit is asking for somewhere to land, you’re already in the right place.
