  • Dragging in a deep breath to anchor me, I dip my right foot in, slowly sliding down before drawing my other leg into the tub. The sensation is instant. Tiny sharp pricks racing across my skin as my body tries to regulate and protect itselt from the jarring shift in temperature.
I close my eyes, a palm over my heart, focusing on my breaths under the expert guidance of Dr.
Rob Williams, PhD (known as ”The Breath
Doctor”) - @drrobwilliams 

Two minutes in an ice-cold plunge bath, steadying my breathing, reminded me that in a fast-paced dizzying world, I already hold power in stillness.

  • Every October in Sweden, we celebrate the lives and contributions of Afro-Swedes historically and in the modern day all month long.

Organizations such as @afrosvenskarnas_riksorg , @afrosvenska_forum_for_rattvisa, @afrosvenskhistorievecka, @blackarchivessweden, @southnord, @africa_nmwc_swe, and @etnografiska, among others, have events planned all month long in celebration and honour of those who have come before us and who continue to lift us up.

On this end with ÅFRÖNỌ̀RDÍC and ÅFRÖSWÈ̩DÉ̩, we have some exciting upcoming announcements which we are eager to share, and which will continue to take this visual celebration globally and regionally.

  • I am excited to be heading to @synergyretreatshow in Croatia this week, a country I adore and have returned to roughly 20 times now.

It is the only trade show dedicated to wellness travel and I can’t wait to experience this transformative community - https://www.theretreatshow.com/

Beyond meeting some incredible partners, companies, and facilitators within the travel wellness snd retreat space, as invited media, I’ll have the opportunity to (in their words):

- Disconnect to reconnect

- Connect to my intention

- Let go and let in

- Inspire and be inspired

- Let connection spark creation

- Flow into my creativity

- Step into presence

Everything my brand, purpose, and life mantra are all about, so needless to say, I’m thrilled. You can learn more here -> https://www.theretreatshow.com/
