Reflecting on Exhaustion and the Power of Curiosity and Community
Navigating predominantly White spaces often leads to a deep exhaustion—one that goes beyond physical tiredness and becomes a weariness of the spirit. It’s the fatigue that comes from constantly having to be a leader, an advocate, a protector, while rarely feeling protected in return. Amid this exhaustion, I've found the power of curiosity and community to be my anchors. Affinity spaces, like those provided by Ripple Hub and A Concrete Rose, have been vital for my healing, growth, and authenticity. These spaces offer the chance to take off the armor, be seen fully, and recharge—so we can continue to show up in meaningful ways, despite the challenges we face.

Exploring Charleston's Dualities: Visibility, Invisibility, and the Power of Storytelling
Charleston, SC, is a city of contrasts—beautifully preserved architecture and charming cobblestone streets mask an often untold, complex history.

From the shores of Sullivan's Island to the Gullah artisans, this post reflects on what it means to care for our roots and honor the past.

What happens when a journey meant to earn a degree transforms into a powerful exploration of self, identity, and the pursuit of liberation?

Through this blog post, I want to take you along my journey from theory to practice, and share how the 3D Power Tools framework has evolved to help others do the same. Ready to dive into the power of discovery, discernment, and determination? Let’s go.
Pruning for Growth: Activating Dormant Potential Within Ourselves
On June 19th, I nervously stood before my six-year-old towering fiddle leaf fig tree, pruning shears in hand. Its leaves nearly kissing the ceiling, seemingly thriving, but I sensed a stagnation beneath its surface. With both hesitation and hope, I pruned five broad leaves, trusting that this act of cutting away would ignite fresh growth. To my amazement, two months later, two new branches sprouted—one from the point of the cut and another halfway down the trunk. Dormant buds, hidden from sight and inactive until now, were suddenly awakened and began to grow. Even the cutting I had removed took root and propagated into a new plant.
