Four Waters Rising began with my personal story—
a story marked by the loss of my mother, followed by a series of losses of elders who were the keepers of our cultural traditions, wisdom, and medicine. They were the transmitters of oral teachings, living ways, memories, and of legacy.

In the wake of those losses, I moved through deep grief and longing. I searched for a sense of belonging through various communities. I found myself reconstructing family legacy, exploring cultural medicine, deepening my understanding caribbean history and ancestral healing—
and feeling deeply called not only to reclaim cultural indigeneity but to preserve it for the next generation.

I quickly recognized a painful gap:
between what we know and who we are,
what is passed down and who passes it down,
what we remember and how it lives on.

Four Waters Rising is my offering. A container where we don’t just talk about holistic wellness, past stories, resilience, joy, intergenerational grief/longing, and communion—
We remember it.
Through our bodies.
Through our culture.
Through our rituals.
Through our relationships.

 Through our creativity and celebrations
