What gets lost in translation when we live in the diaspora? 🌿

Sometimes it's more than language. It's the ancestral knowledge, herbal remedies, and healing traditions passed down through generations.

As a Haitian-American, I've been reflecting on how much of this knowledge gets lost through immigration, assimilation, and the first-generation experience.

We may know a plant by its Kreyòl name but have no idea what it's called in English. Or discover an herb being celebrated in wellness spaces that our ancestors have used for generations.

And it's not just about medicinal properties. These plants also carry cultural and spiritual significance.

I've been on a journey of reconnecting those dots, learning to identify these plants, understanding their traditional uses, and exploring how we can preserve this wisdom by growing medicinal gardens of our own.

🌱 Introducing RACINE: Rooted in Ancestral Wisdom.

Because our roots aren't just something we come from. They're something we must continue to nurture.

Today we're exploring:
🌿 Leaf of Life
🌿 Holy Basil (Tulsi)
🌿 Mexican Tea (Epazote)

How many did you recognize? What medicinal plants did your family use growing up?

🇭🇹 From Haitian roots to holistic wellness. What a journey! 💚

I'm incredibly honored to be nominated for Health & Wellness Brand of the Year at Carib Biz Network (CBN)'s Island Icons Honors NYC 2026! 🎉

25 years ago, I began a personal healing journey that would change the course of my life. What started as a decision to live differently eventually became a calling to help others reconnect with themselves, their health, and their communities.

In 2005, I founded Yes Baby I Like It Raw with a vision that wellness could be more than what we eat, how we move, or how we look.

And from the very beginning, culture has been at the center of that vision.

For so long, we've been presented with versions of health and wellness that suggest we have to leave parts of ourselves behind to be healthy. That our cultural foods don't belong on a wellness journey. That the ways our communities have moved, gathered, celebrated, and cared for one another somehow don't fit into the modern wellness space.

I've never believed that.

Our culture isn't something we need to separate from our wellness. It's part of what nourishes us.

It's in our food, our music, our movement, our traditions, our ancestral wisdom, and the communities that hold us.

That belief has guided my work through plant-based nutrition, yoga, Pilates, African and Haitian dance, and holistic healing practices. It's taken me into classrooms, community centers, studios, and spaces I never imagined, reaching hundreds of thousands of people along the way.

As a Haitian-American woman, this recognition is especially meaningful. To be celebrated within the Caribbean community for work that has always centered culture feels like a beautiful full-circle moment.

And 25 years into this journey, I'm still learning, evolving, and finding new ways to make wellness more accessible, inclusive, and culturally connected.

Thank you to Carib Biz Network (CBN) for recognizing this work and for creating space to celebrate Caribbean excellence. Congratulations to my fellow nominees! 🇭🇹✨

Hey you! ✨

These photos represent different moments throughout my years of practicing yoga. Different poses, different seasons, and different expressions of my practice.

But what you don't see in a photograph is everything that brought me there.

The repetition. The patience. The stumbling and, yes, the falling. The moments when something finally clicked and the times when I had to return to the foundation.

I created Funky Poses & Flow from my own journey and from what my students kept asking for.

I wanted to go deeper in my practice, but there weren't many spaces to explore intermediate and advanced asanas with intentional guidance. So I spent years learning through self-practice, exploration, and trial and error.

My students wanted that same opportunity: a consistent space to explore, ask questions, build skills, and grow.

That's why Funky Poses & Flow is about more than getting into a challenging pose.

It's about understanding what makes the pose possible.

Through active practice and intention, we develop awareness. That awareness helps us recognize our capacity, building the strength, mobility, stability, and confidence to explore what's next.

You may not achieve your goal pose during the workshop, and that's okay. My intention is for you to leave understanding the building blocks and how to continue developing your practice.

✨ FUNKY POSES & FLOW

I built this class from my own journey, and from what my students kept asking for. 🌱 I wanted to go deeper, but there were very few choices. I spent a lot of time on self-practice, stumbling and literally falling along the way. My students wanted the same thing: a consistent space to learn it right.
Funky Poses & Flow is where advanced poses meet their foundations. You may not get the pose in class, but you'll leave with the building blocks to get there.
