Ancestors in Training

06/16/2026

"Unearthing stories and tending to them with care, or even witnessing our family and loved ones’ curiosities about what we call healing, is an offering in and of itself. But it is also heavy lifting. It asks us to dig deep, listen, and be a mirror to our elevated ancestors and our elders who are healing through the work that we set out to do. I’d like to think that every time we commit to our own healing, generating new legacies and breaking harmful cycles - the ancestors whisper to our descendants, 'this is what you have to look forward to. This is what’s possible.'"

Reflections and notes on how we're all still arriving amid (dis)possession and grief.

"... the process of becoming and birthing the me that I need to be is moving me towards accepting support and resources in spots that are still tender. Tender because we know all too well what it’s like to be ignored, dismissed, overlooked, or excluded."

The book birthing process is truly underway, and it's not without its tender spots. Both fertile soils and growing pains.
