Going Inward Wellness is a mental and emotional wellness practice. I support clients on their journe I truly believe the most rewarding journey is Inward. Bray

I started Going Inward Wellness as a way of rebranding mental health in the African American community. Too often, I found myself and others in my community suffering silently, or worse out loud. I wanted to do away with the concept that therapy is for “those people over there,” when it is really about individuals finding personal meaning. Through Going Inward Wellness, I offer people the opportunity to take off their cool in a safe space; together we work to peel back their labels, roles, vices and past hurts so that they may be fully present and seen. I want to remind people they are not alone in what they are feeling, therefore they don't have to journey inward alone. The journey will be different for everyone, but everyone has the capacity to do this work.

I don’t enjoy it here often, so I don’t usually post, but I must use my voice where I can.

Happy Spring! Are you craving a moment of slowdown and relaxation? I am. With all of the hectic events of our world, our self care is not up for negotiation so I join for some intentional time in joy, play and exploration.

This Friday I will facilitate Part I of a three part series intended to guide the body through this season of natural slow down, decay, and rest. This week’s theme is RECONNECT. Reconnect:: to re-establish a bond of communication or emotion. We will use breath and gentle movement to explore what our bodies are asking of us in this season. Register for one session or all 3. Visit bit.ly3o91b14 This space is open to cis and trans women, as well as non binary people comfortable being a space centering the experiences of women.

I had fun this morning recording a chair yoga sequence for a group of Black women educators. Followed by helping to edit an international call to action for yogis. Daily I am reminded that yoga has the ability to liberate and oppress. Whether the discussion is yoga or mindfulness, I cannot act as if these practices have not been impacted and shaped by global white supremacy. As a keeper of these wisdom traditions, I understand my role comes with responsibility and labor. This understanding offers me no bypass as a Black woman born in N. America.

Of late, I have been asking myself and others, how are you accounting for the insidious nature of white supremacy, how are you accounting for white supremecy in things we deem as “good” or “right”? When it comes to yoga, the truth is, there has been co-optation; the truth is, there has been whitewashing; the truth is, there has been apropriation; the truth is, there has been spiritual bypassing; the truth is, there has been silence in the face of contradiction; the truth is, none of us are exempt.

Today, tomorrow and the following days, I commit to honoring these wisdom legacies by uplifting truth and naming harm. I am grateful for my community who help to keeps me accountable.

The last 18 months have been 🥴 to say the least. As I wrote this caption, there are very real physical, spiritual, and psychological wars taking place. How are you getting through? What’s allowing you to carry on? What’s working for you? Excited to be in conversation with tomorrow to discuss mental health and wellness. Joins us in conversation.

I love big wins! From watching people transform; to securing contracts and new opportunities; big wins make me feel like I am doing this life thing right. As a mom, entrepreneur, and full time employee, it is easy to check the big boxes that keep all the systems running, this sometimes looks like doing the most. Doing the most can make the day-to-day happenings feel like stepping stones to the next big win, when in fact, the little wins are indicative of something more important. To me, the little wins are the the mortar between the bricks, the little details, commitments, and routines that make big wins possible. There are no big wins if my foundation is crumbling from inattention. The little wins of honoring my routines, honoring my word, doing the hard thing first (discipline), are beautiful little wins that both ground and propel me.

Today, I celebrate my salad and smoothie.

Celebrate the small wins.
