I share the raw truth of what it's like to live through the fear, trauma, and resilience brought on by ICE raids in our communities and how we rise together in response.
This week, I come to you with a heavy heart and a strong voice. With ICE raids terrorizing cities like Los Angeles and communities being paralyzed by fear, this moment demands that we wake up, feel, act, and take care of each other. I reflect on what I’m seeing and feeling, and share tools for processing these intense emotions while offering a path forward rooted in action, healing, and community.
I talked about:
- The emotional and spiritual impact of ICE raids across Los Angeles and beyond
- What I’m witnessing firsthand from self-deportation to marches and community uprising
- Why now is the time for deep transformational work and radical self-awareness
- The four tools to navigate these times:
- Acknowledge your feelings even if you’re feeling numb
- Process your emotions - talk it out, write, art, or dance it out
- Decide how to use your emotions take aligned action, big or small
- Rest and recharge because healing and activism both require energy
I invite you to join us for two upcoming community events that are rooted in healing, empowerment, and action:
Future Self Experience (virtual, June 22): https://www.wendyamara.com/workwithme/p/future-self-experience
Latinas in Wellness (in-person, Los Angeles): bit.ly/latina-in-wellness
This is a time to come together, not to be an isolation, but to feel and rise with intention. Community is the MEDICINA, and I’m here walking this path with you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
