As Brown, Black, Indigenous, all People of Color, and People of this Earth the message is being heard loud and clear. We must support businesses, companies, healing facilities, farmers, medicine makers, activists, movers & shakers owned by people who can relate to our depth, share similar sentiments, and weave familiar stories. In this colonized world, it is important to re-align our values and ensure that our actions help in liberating all Indigenous peoples.

 

Marginalized communities are often forced to support larger corporations that are illiterate in terms of our unique health and wellness necessities & we POC are paying for this.

 

Decolonizing our wellness practices first starts with our relationship to this Earth, the prayers of our pre-colonial ancestors, ultimately anchored in the roots to retrieve medicine for the next several generations. We must strengthen our connections with all of our allies, utilizing a well rounded and wholistic approach to becoming the songs our ancestors sang over us. Healing with nature and learning the human vessel is as old as Buddha, Osayin, and Imhotep. Our ancient ancestors had a prayer, that we would pass along the Indigenous healing traditions that they guarded as sacred for thousands of years.
 

In the old days, every person had a role to fulfill in society and everyone contributed to the collective healing of the community. We can all reawaken the magic of our ancestral prayers by simply remembering or recreating their songs. It is our responsibility to awaken the seeds our ancestors planted by watering them with intention, and this task requires our full attention. 

 

Medicine holder, herbalist, educator, birth worker, yogini, farmer, and Indigenous reclaiming activist, Jenni Elyse in collaboration with wise Indigenous medicine folk, farmers, front line defenders, culture keepers, naturopaths, and traditionalists steward a collective for Brown, Black, and Indigenous POC folks to support one another in ancestral reclamation. Our nonprofit's mission is to preserve the rites and passages of becoming and maintaining our ancestral connections that ultimately serve our earth and heal our communities. Being a POC herbalist comes with the responsibility of self-actualization.
