Today I had the honor of opening each focus group at the Community Convening at AltaMed with a grounding breathing practice. 🧘🏽‍♀️💛

It was such a gift to help participants pause, center themselves, and ground before diving into meaningful conversations about our community’s future.

Thank you to the organizers for creating space for mindfulness, and to everyone who joined us in breathing, connecting, and showing up with open hearts. 💬🤝

Had the honor of hosting a yoga and journaling session at my alma mater, UC San Diego!

As an alumna of Thurgood Marshall College, I carry with me the invaluable lesson of being a meaningful asset to my community.

Grateful for the opportunity to give back and hold space for wellness and reflection. 💙✨

Using your voice to stand up for yourself, your family, and your community is a powerful form of self-care.

As says, “I ain’t gotta know you to love you; you can still be my kinfolk. Shades of brown—don’t you know we got the same family tree?”

For the homies that can’t vote, I see you, your voice matters too ✊🏽

On this Mental Health Day, let’s pause and check in with ourselves. Remember, caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. Take a moment to reflect on your well-being with this simple checklist. 💭

At Soul Empowered Yoga, we encourage prioritizing mental health, especially in communities of color where access to self-care has often been limited. How are you doing today?

Earlier this year, I was seeing an orthopedic surgeon for an injury, and recovery was ROUGH. There were days when even yoga felt impossible. But after a lot of hard work and with an amazing support system, I’m running a half marathon tomorrow!

Huge shout out to the incredible and the coaching crew for putting together such a solid training program. Every week, y’all showed up to guide us and push us to keep going.

and thank you for creating a program that was perfect for first-timers but still challenged us to keep leveling up. Laura thank you for hosting the speed sessions and for reminding me on though days that I can do hard things 🫶

thanks for dedicating your Sundays to our long runs and making sure no one was ever left behind during our weekly runs.

, appreciate all the speed sessions and your running wisdom—you’ve been such a great mentor through this whole thing.

Extra love to the love of my life for holding me down through the injury, recovery and now training. Doing life with you is the best.

📸 thanks for this photo and your amazing work 💕

Yoga isn’t about how far you can stretch—it’s about the lessons you learn along the way. 🧘🏾‍♀️✨ Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned yogi, the journey is yours, and every step matters.
