July 2025 marked the completion of my final initiation into priesthood—a journey that began as a whisper in my youth and became a roar I could no longer ignore. From the church pews of my childhood to the sacred spaces where my ancestors dwell, every step has been guided by hands seen and unseen.
To my two mothers who held me through this transformation, to my spiritual family who witnessed my becoming, to my Lwa who never let me stray too far from home—ashe, ashe, ashe. You saw the leader in me when I was still learning to see myself.
This isn’t an ending. It’s a beginning. A deeper dive into service, into Spirit, into the practice that claimed me long before I knew its name. The work continues. The learning never stops. And I walk forward now not just as student, but as guide—ready to hold space, ready to serve, ready to honor the lineage that runs through my blood and the Supreme Creator that breathes through us all.
Sankofa. We go back to move forward.
The house is open. The work is sacred. And I am grateful.
