In an effort to honor my Ancestors, I have continued the tradition of herbal healing during the pregnancy and postpartum periods. Thanks to the knowledge of Devin Nicholas, Master Herbalist of Divine Birth Wisdom, I have remembered the ways of healing with herbs that the Black Midwives of the South brought with them from West Africa during enslavement.

In 2018, I took her Grandma's Hands Pregnancy and Postpartum Herbs & Nutrition 6 week Online Course focusing on the Herbs and Healing Modalities Historically used by Black Southern Midwives. This course reminded me of my love for herbs and introduced me to medicine making.

In 2019, she came to Oakland and I participated in her Grandma's Hands Pregnancy & Postpartum Herb and Nutrition in the Southern Tradition 1 Day Workshop. It was an 8 hour intensive hands on workshop covering the history of Black Midwifery in the South along with the herbs and healing modalities of the traditional Southern Black community. This workshop deepened my learning and inspired me to expand my herbal offerings for the entire family!
