I flow between the mystical and the everyday: Dark Feminine energy, beauty as rebellion, the way our shadows hold wisdom - right alongside the playlists, the books, the style shifts, and the little luxuries that keep me lit up.

So many of us begin our spiritual journey because we are subconsciously trying to mend a split inside ourselves. We spent so much of our lives before that moment feeling off, broken, misunderstood and not really having the language for why.
This split was never our natural state. We were divinely designed for union, to acc...

Thank you for showing up for yourselves, for the community, and for me. I’m still an artist while holding this container, and the direction we’re heading matters. This week was about recognizing what it takes to live as an artist in real time — not conceptually, not aesthetically, but in the day-to-day choices that protect ...

Week 10 was about self-protection and what happens when creativity finally starts moving and the body, mind, and spirit are all online at the same time.
Across Dangers of the Trail, Workaholism, Drought, Fame, and Competition, we stayed with how protection isn’t only ab...

This week was about compassion and what it looks like to offer it to yourself as an artist. We moved through three essays: Fear, Enthusiasm, and Creative U-Turns & stayed with how compassion helps us remain in relationship with ourselves while navigating fear, creativity, and redirection.

This week, our focus was really about grief and how it shows up in the creative life, especially when things do not unfold the way you imagined they would. How important it is to know that loss and disappointment can interrupt your relationship with your creativity, but they can also become moments of redirection when you understand how to stay connected to yourself while moving through them.
We talked through what it actually looks...

Week 7 was really about reconnecting with yourself as an artist: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. The book gives us the topics, but everything we talked about today came from my interpretation and lived experience, especially as a Black woman who understands creativity through intuition, body awaren...

Why I created this for you
Every day, the world asks us to perform, to pour out, to give. And if we’re not careful, we forget to pour back into ourselves. We forget that magic is not something we chase - it’s something we open to, invite in, and embody.
For some of us, that daily practice is scripture, like how my family lineage leans on Psalm 23 as a grounding prayer. Many of us recite what feels empowering, when I was younger, I u...

This week, I’m reflecting on the powerful alignment of the Aquarius New Moon and the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Snake. These cosmic forces invite us to honor the cycles of death, rest, and rebirth, where small, intentional changes ripple into bold, lasting transformations.
I’ll also share how sisterhood and ancestral connection have been guiding my path, reminding me of the sacredness of community and the wisdom we inherit th...
This week, I’m reflecting on the cosmic chaos that’s all around us—from last week’s Wolf Moon and lunar standstill to the rare planetary alignment happening now. These powerful shifts are stirring up deep truths and asking us to release what’s no longer serving us.
I’m also diving into the dark feminine energy of Aquarius season—what it means to embrace freedom, individuality, and the beauty of chaos as the birthplace of creation. A...
Dark Divines Devotional
This week’s devotional focuses on stepping away from absolutes and finding strength, faith, and purpose in the grey spaces of life. By releasing extremes of fantasy and fear, we embrace the fullness of being human - holding grief and joy, chaos and beauty, at the same time. This grey space allows us to honor our ancestors' resilience and softness, while creating room for us to rest, dream, and live fully.
This...
In this week’s Dark Divines Devotional, I’m reflecting on a realization that’s been years in the making: I’ve been leading a ministry all along. Not in the traditional sense, but in a way that weaves together sacred texts, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual practices to create spaces for healing, growth, and liberation.
This ministry isn’t tied to a pulpit or a congregation—it’s about building a personal and collective connection with ...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
