Our bodies, like the Earth, are the keepers of memory.

~Dr. Ruby Gibson

So ... let's think about this shit.

Within my body in 2025 is the memory of being kidnapped from the only home I've ever known --

-- transported across a vast ocean that my worldview could only conceive to be a much smaller body of water --

-- enslaved + horrendously abused physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and more ... --

-- oppressed, segregated, subjugated, hunted, and otherwise discriminated against for 406 years.

Alllllll of this as memory is kept

within

my body.

my Black body

...

Remember

“how much they took from us

and how they transfigured

our very bodies

into 

sugar, tobacco, cotton, and gold.

…

by the Civil War

“our stolen bodies

were worth

four billion dollars.”

~Ta-Nehisi Coates

My Black body -- reduced out of its ontology as an original, sacred creation to become no more than an abused and disregarded commodity -- becomes disproportionately predisposed to chronic conditions like

👉🏽 diabetes

👉🏽 high blood pressure

👉🏽 high cholesterol

My Black body in this lifetime may not have endured lashes + lynchings -- yet it holds inherited genes from ancestors who did endure these egregious indignities. And because it holds these genes (epigenetics) that remember deep traumas like these, the stressors of my own life can turn on conditions and diseases that develop from heightened and prolonged (compounded) exposure(s) to hormones that are designed to keep me safe from existential threats.

They are actually doing their job well.

It's just that the existential threats are not supposed to be daily and just because I exist.

My Black body cannot + should not sustain an infinite amount of heightened level of flight, fight, freeze, or fawn in the face of a ghosting enemy. So, I need a way to heal + recover ... sustainably ...

... and that way is through somatic healing.

Let's heal -- for good this time -- together!
