How We Can Help

Ready to start your healing journey?

Here's how we support you in healing, re-education, and restoration from racial trauma.  

1. Healing:  Yejide is passionate about helping Women to heal, free themselves from emotional pain that is trauma. The onset typically occurs during childhood when adult care givers fail to protect their children, nurture their children, and foster a healthy self esteem in their children, which almost always leads to the child growing into adulthood with feelings of unworthiness. As adults, they have lost their voice because as a child they were ridiculed or condemned, or ignored.  This needs healing.
   
2. Re-education:  Yejide explains that little girls learn from society, music, television, love stories, social media, videos and the adults around them that when they grow up and fall in love, it is magical.  All of their problems, pain, etc. will be healed by falling in love, getting married, buying a house, having two kids, a picket fence and a dog.  It starts with giving Barbie and Ken dolls to little girls.  They are taught to look for love outside of themselves.  What would happen if they were taught that they are perfect just the way they are, that they are loveable, worthy and valuable by birth right? Just because someone doesn't notice your talent, beauty, and/or power, doesn't mean you don't possess it.  Women need to be re-educated about their value as Women, and as Mothers.  The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.  They need to be taught the power of Mother.  She is the first teacher, nurse, doctor, everything.  She is co-creator with the Divine Creator.  The love she is looking for is inside of her.
   
3. Restoration:  Yejide was bused from her urban neighborhood to public schools in suburban communities during the 1970's. At that time, unfortunately, racist white adults were screaming, throwing rocks and hitting the side of the school bus with bats, all the while using the "N" word.  Yejide was eight years old at that time.  This is when Yejide learned  that they hated her because she was Black.  Therefore, she believed she was not as good as white people.  As she grew, this lie was reaffirmed by many institutions across the country. Racism and White Supremacy is woven in the fabric of every institution in America. Restoration from racial trauma begins by healing the wounds of the psychological  trauma caused by the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade Business, and it continues to have a snowball effect 200 plus years later as the status quo has been upheld.  Yejide needed an adult to teach her that there is nothing wrong with being Black. There is something wrong with adults who would traumatize children because they think they are superior.  They are the ones with the problem, not an eight-year-old who was just an innocent beautiful little girl who did not deserve to be treated so badly. Slaves being prohibited to pass on to their offspring their language, culture, religious beliefs, rights of passage, music,  tradition, etc. led to loss of identity.  Spirituality and culture is essential in the healing process and answering the question "who am I" - not "who they say I am," because that is a lie.
