Living Waters

Welcome to Living Waters

A travel journal, a healing diary and a sacred space to reflect on the flow and evolution of life.

Here, I write from the road — weaving insight with movement, ritual, and the wisdom that comes when we slow down. Whether it’s a massage in the mountains, a bowl of fruit in the sun, or a truth rising up while walking solo in a new city — this is where it all lives.

These posts are love notes from the journey — with travel as both literal path and living metaphor. Movement — toward presence, becoming, home, and the possibility of collective transformation through individual well-being.

I carry with me years of work rooted in community, advocacy, and collective care. As I evolve, that work evolves too—becoming more embodied, more personal, and more spiritually grounded.

As a Black woman, my presence in rest, in reflection, and in reclamation is not separate from that work—it is the work. This blog is a space where I let my evolution speak. Where healing is both personal and political. Where the everyday becomes sacred, and the sacred becomes a guide toward a more just, more whole world.

I'm an intentional being, so I curated this written experience to take you on a journey from the suffocating space between who I became to succeed and who I actually am. The photos used are mine, and the personal storytelling is not a form of self-help or oversharing, but resonant space creation and community-building as a branch of collective healing.

The Altar of Achievement

What happens when the very tools that helped you survive become the chains that bind you? When the altar you've been worshipping at demands more sacrifice than your soul can give?

This is the story of breaking up with achievement culture - of recognizing that excellence became my false god and performance became my prison. The moment I realized that what got me here wouldn't get me where I needed to go, and the sacred act of letting it all go.

Laying down false idols and picking up freedom.
