I was in my mid twenties living in a beautiful studio apartment in Oakland. I had an overall balanced and happy life, except for every couple of months when I bled. I remember waking one morning in immense pain. I knew that if I didn't act quickly and get my iron and banana, my body would feel like I was going into anemic shock.  The pain and throbbing in my pussy began to intensify, and I immediately wanted to take a long bath. I got into the shower and began to sob heavily. My pain increased but atleast the aching in my pussy had simmered. I suddenly began to feel calmer. I cried out to God to make it stop. I didn't take over the counter pain pills because...

Quarterly Newsletter Spring/Summer Edition- Fire article Section 2: Learning your birthing story can support your re birth: An op ed piece by Sacred Walker

The story of finding the strength the birth new things amidst challenging times, tapping into that fire to create new life is an intergenerational choice that spans for generations in my family. I interviewed my mom regarding my birthing story, attached below. I found out many things, but one thing in particular stuck out to me. My mom birthed me alone. My father felt threatened by our other family members, and forbade her from seeing her mom and siblings. They went to the hospital room together, but he didn't join her in the labor room.

She was very afraid of my dad's temper, if he found out. But she took the risk anyway because it was important to her to have us both visit our family. Yet, she chose to stay. I was born within a tumultous environment. Having now understood the risks my mom took to reduce her isol...

Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care- Watch me.

My former supervisor shared this you tube video with our Hospital team.* Watch this video: Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care This video is truly a reminder that fostering the soul care in health care , specifically practitioners showing empathy and compassion, can go a long way for how we as practitioners and as service recipients approach giving and receiving care. I believe, it reminds us to walk a day in our "clients" shoes, and bottom line, treat others with the care and professionalism that we all deserve. I am not always perfect at showing up at my 100% best as a practitioner or as a client. My emotions, like many others, at times get the best of me. I stub my toe, somebody insults my family member, I get a scary call, and my mood changes, paints my day differently. My experience changes the minute that the negative thought enters my consciousness. But God... invites in ease in a simple a moment, as taking in a breath. And when I remember that, I res...
