In Case You Missed It Catch Up
Hey community 🌻,
It’s been a minute since I shared an update here, and so much has been unfolding! If you’ve been following along on my Substack, you know I’ve been centering community, creativity, and ancestral connection through a range of offerings -from Kwanzaa content and media features to live events and spiritual reflections.
Here’s a round-up of what I’ve been sharing lately, whether you’re catching up or revisiting a favorite post.
🔴 Kwanzaa All Year Long
Why wait for December? I'm co-exploring Kwanzaa year-round to reclaim rhythm, collective responsibility, and rootedness. Each principle holds wisdom for every season and I’m pairing each one with co-author conversations, curated playlists, and community sharings.
Umoja (Unity):Playlist | Co-Author Conversation
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination):Playlist | Co-Author Conversation
Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility):Playlist | Call-to-Action |
Art Highlight: Once Upon a Kwanzaa Illustration
The Fruit Bowl: Community Spotlights: Spotlight 1 | Spotlight 2
Let’s keep reflecting and building, together.
🎙️ In the Media
If you’d like to hear me speak about my work, spiritual practices, and the deeper threads that guide my path, tune in to these recent features:
🌸 Spring Bloom: Where Is Koketso?
This spring, I hosted the second "Where is Koketso?" Seek-and-Find Adventure. This time in Boulder, Colorado. It was such a joyful, community-rooted celebration to usher in the season and I’m already dreaming up where to host next year’s!

🖤 Sinners: A Reflection on Ancestral Truth
I saw Sinners four times in theaters. It stirred something deep. I wrote about how the film intersects with Saturday Magic: A Hoodoo Story and the cultural weight of reclaiming ancestral power in the face of erasure.
