No Blueprint, No Problem: Healing and Breaking Through Doubt

It’s finally here! I’m beyond excited to officially announce Healing Spaces: Wellness for Marginalized Communities—a one-day event that’s been in the making for some time. This isn’t just another wellness gathering—it’s a space for Black, Brown, and marginalized communities to heal together. We’ll be offering somatic healing workshops, aromatherapy, panel discussions on trauma and resilience, and a community-focused mixer where professionals and participants can connect. Tickets officially go live on April 1st, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to invite you to join us on June 14, 2025, for this transformative day of healing.

Tickets and event details are available here :)

Let me keep it a buck— it was never an option for this event to not happen. By now, y’all should know me a bit, and to know me is to know—if I don’t got anything, I have audacity. The idea of letting self-doubt or fear stop me from making this happen? Not even on the table. Not an option. Not even for a second did I consider quitting, letting self-doubt take the wheel, or listening to the voice that says, "Maybe you’re not cut out for this." But if I had bought into those stuck points, if I had allowed those thoughts to control me, maybe it would’ve been. Maybe I wouldn’t be here today, inviting you to join me for what will be a powerful and liberating experience.

I don’t buy into those stuck points. And neither should you.

I’m really just a girl from Englewood, grew up low-income, experienced some things that really messed with my mind. I’ve been through enough to make anyone second guess their worth, their dreams, their potential. But every time that voice—whether it’s internal or external—pops up telling me I’m not enough or that my dreams are too big for me, I remind myself: being a Black woman means I’m raw as shit. Directions? Never had them and I don’t need them.

I don’t need to follow anyone’s map or mold. I’m carving my own path, and I’m doing it in real-time, with no instructions, no guidebook, just the knowledge that if I push through these fears and stuck points, I’ll get to the other side.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ve had those same moments of doubt. The moments where you ask yourself, “Who am I to do this?” “Who am I to take up space in this way?” Let’s be honest—whether it’s pursuing career goals, starting a business, or making big life changes, we’ve all had that voice telling us we’re not worthy, that we don’t belong, that it’s just too much.

But that voice is a lie. In my best Karlie Redd’s voice… it was all a lie guys.

Here’s what I know for sure: just because I feel something doesn’t make it true. Just because I feel unworthy doesn’t mean I am. Just because I’ve been through some tough shit doesn’t mean that’s where my story ends. That’s just one chapter. It’s not the whole book.

So, let’s talk about stuck points. You know the ones—the beliefs that keep you stuck in a cycle of second-guessing, the thoughts that tell you that you’re not good enough, not strong enough, not capable enough to do the things you’ve dreamed about. I’ve had my fair share of these stuck points. I’ve told myself I wasn’t qualified enough, smart enough, experienced enough to create this event. I’ve had days where I thought, “Maybe this is too much. Maybe I should just stay in my lane.” But then, I remember: we don’t stay in lanes, sis. We make our own roads.

You don’t need anyone else’s roadmap to your success or your healing. What you need is to understand that you are enough right now, in this very moment, exactly as you are. Your story—your experience—has already qualified you to do the things that others may not think are possible. And those stuck points? They’re just noise trying to keep you small.

That’s why I’m creating Healing Spaces—not just as an event, but as a movement. It’s a space where we can release the things that have been holding us back, together. It’s a space where we can confront the trauma we’ve been carrying and rewrite the narrative. It’s a space where we can say to each other, “You are enough. You always were. You’ve always had the power to heal, to grow, to thrive.”

At Healing Spaces, we won’t just talk about healing—we’ll experience it. From somatic workshops that help us reconnect with our bodies to aromatherapy that calms our nervous systems, we’re going to dive deep. And let’s not forget the panel discussions where we’ll hear from experts who understand our unique experiences and challenges. We’re not here for surface-level wellness—we’re here for deep, radical healing. The kind that confronts the stuck points and says, “Not today, not anymore.”

This is a call to arms for anyone who’s been made to feel small, for anyone who’s doubted themselves, for anyone who’s felt like they didn’t have a place in this world. Healing Spaces is your place.

So here’s my challenge to you: show up for yourself. Show up for the person you’ve been, the person you are, and the person you’re becoming. Don’t let the voice of doubt keep you in a box. Don’t let those stuck points define you. You are not stuck—you’re just in a messy middle, and that’s okay. This is where growth happens. This is where you break free from everything that’s been holding you back.

If I can do this, with all the odds stacked against me, so can you. If I can create a space where healing is possible for our communities, you can create the life you want for yourself.

So get your tickets on April 1st, and join me on June 14th for a day that will change the way you see yourself and your power. Together, we heal. Together, we break free from the stuck points. Together, we reclaim our stories and move forward as the unapologetically powerful beings we were always meant to be.

Grab a friend, then grab anotha one :) See y’all there. xxxx
