Alchemy - a seemingly magical process of transformation, or creation through the combining of elements. This is not your average experience. Through alchemy, I bring together a blend of elements and expertise, including but not limited to:
-
the trauma of oppression
-
relational psychodynamics
-
decolonizing internalized capitalism & White supremacy
-
healing inter-generational trauma
-
ritual and ancient tradition of the disapora
-
mindfulness & conscious movement
The Alchemy can be applied to create a way out of suffering; and often the only way out is through. Through feeling deeply, speaking truth to power & finding your authentic voice, through Spirit, through political education, through unpacking inter-generational legacies of trauma.
Each healing experience is curated to honor the totality of each being and their innate healing wisdom.
My Approach
[The Alchemy]
"Be easy.
Take your time.
You are coming home to yourself"
-Nayyirah Waheed
ReImagine Legacy
ReImagine Legacy is a Black-led, disabled-led, intergenerational ecosystem rooted in healing, cultural organizing, and collective care. We develop culturally rooted approaches to reproductive and mental health, caregiving, community care, and healing, seeded within kinship connections, or “kinnections.”
Through storytelling, healing and cultural arts, political and health education, gatherings, resource exchange, and immersive healing justice experiences, we create spaces for Black and POC caregivers, families, birthworkers, disabled and neurodiverse community members, and movement leaders to gather, learn, organize, rest, exchange resources, and build stronger networks of mutual support.
Our practice draws upon ancestral wisdom, cultural memory, and lived experience while creating new strategies for the conditions we are living through now. ReImagine Legacy invites our communities to strengthen traditions of healing, kinship, kollective care, and shared responsibility while building the language, relationships, and collective power to imagine and create our own solutions.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Naimah has consistently helped me identify patterns of thinking and behavior that are directly tied to traumas I have experienced in my life. She is so easy for me to talk to because I don't feel like I have to explain myself to her. She is aware of the traumas that come with experiencing life under systematic oppression, and has an educated understanding of how this manifests in individuals and interpersonal relationships. It is a huge relief to have support in drawing connections between these experiences, identity, and personal fulfillment, and I'm so thankful for her work. I finally feel like I'm on the right path, and my sessions with Naimah are my favorite part of the week.
