In this episode, Hailey is joined by creative contemplative Leonetta Elaiho. They talk about their shared history as little-church-worker-bees and the process of transcending and including all parts of themselves and their journey. Leonetta shares how centering queer Black women has breathed new life into her spirituality and activism and the spiritual practice that feels most alive to her right now - gazing.
This heartfelt episode weaves together themes of identity, spiritual awakening, and the courage to forge authentic paths of faith. Whether you're questioning your own spiritual journey or curious about inclusive approaches to spirituality, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on finding sacred ground in unexpected places.
Leonetta is a creative contemplative that thrives at the intersection of culture, spirituality, and social justice, where she advocates for radical inclusion. As a consultant and spiritual companion, she supports BIPOC leaders' wellness and liberation through teaching and operational leadership, healing modalities, and spiritual care. She is the founder and CEO of Beautifulle (pronounced beauty-fully) where you can learn more about her work.
