So allow me to start by saying that I have been asked this question since I was one of the most well known "conscious" people in the community since 1997 before everybody was "woke"! This was pre-myspace all the way back to blackplanet.com days and it still remains the same! Showing my age but back then it was only a hand full of us well known leaders in the United States back then!
I was raised in a family where both my mother and father come from the Church of God and Christ Christians. I was told that anybody who didn't accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior was going to burn for all ETERNITY! As a child this deeply saddened me because I thought to myself, well what about the babies or people in small tribes all over the world or what about all the extremely loving Muslim friends as well as those from other denominations that are good souls with pure hearts that treat other with compassion, respect and love that I have met over the years and etc.? I was then told after I got "saved" by accepting that I then have to go and tell my friends to denounce what they hold dear to their heart?
This is what led me to discovering history, cultures and most of all myself. I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and when I would tell people outside of Louisiana, they would instantly say "Oh you are creole, you do voodoo huh?!" More like an accusation than a question really and I replied in truth "No, what do you mean?"
So, lets talk about it! My ancestors are Native American (will talk about my tribe in a later post), Irish, West African, and Louisiana creole all of which are very spiritual people that all utilized the elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire) gifted by the Supreme Creator/Creatress/Universe/God/Great Spirit/Allah (I think you get where I am going with this lol) to heal, manifest, protect, provide and so much more throughout their lives and through generations. They were your medicine men and women, your shamans, your loving neighbor etc.. This runs through my veins, I can feel it and them in and around me. Ancestor talk will be another post as well so, back to it
I then would also always question these certain abilities that I had as a child that only grew as I got older without me doing anything to create them in fact didn't even want because they felt more like a curse than a gift. It made me feel so isolated and weird like "why me?" My life started to feel like it was not mine anymore. Imagine walking past strangers and having to grab them with their name rolling off your tongue telling them intricate details about their past and then delivering a message perhaps from someone who has crossed over or getting a vision for what they are about to do and giving them a warning not to.
These abilities led me to travel in my sleep to other people which all of whom I know home just to wake and talk to them about it the next day. Perhaps even jumping when my friends one legged ghost of a uncle of which I never knew ever heard about, flew in front of me when I was visiting my friend as I walked past a room they died in. I have experienced so many times of jumping up first thing in the rising while laying next to someone (different people) over the years telling them in detail exactly what was going to happen when we part that day sometimes warning them to avoid certain strangers that will cross their path. Let me tell you family the lists go on and on and on.
So to wrap this up many of my friends have begged me over the years to utilize these abilities to serve the people but do in in a way where there is an energy exchange so I'm not left drained after healing, protecting and being around others especially being a person who is highly intuitive and empathetic and has a Master Number 11 life path number! Whewwww those who know they know to whom much is given much is required. Needless to say my journey of self discovery led me to embrace what resonated with my spirit , spoke to my dna and awakened so much ancient knowledge that super seeded any label that exists. I live in my truth, I embrace all that I am and in turn with a pure heart is why i offer myself in service to you rooted in God's love, comfortably indefinable.
