Why Rooted In Glow?
Rooted In Glow was born from lived experience, ancestral love, and the quiet fire of transformation.
Finances didn’t come easily to me. Like many in my community, I was taught to stretch, save, and survive. I learned the basics—how to balance a checkbook, how to compare prices at the grocery store—from my mom. But we didn’t take lavish vacations or have brand-new wardrobes each year. I was a Black girl growing up in predominantly white spaces, attending private schools thanks to my grandparents’ support, but not always feeling like I fully belonged.
It wasn’t until public high school that I began exploring my Black identity more deeply. Since then, I’ve been on a journey—reclaiming pieces of myself, my lineage, and my power.
My love for ancestral connection runs deep. Over the past 15 years, my partnership with my Nigerian husband and our two beautiful children has shown me how powerful it is to raise a family where both African and Black American identities are embraced and celebrated. I’ve seen firsthand how our healing is amplified when we reconnect across the diaspora—not just for cultural understanding, but for wealth-building, spiritual clarity, and communal liberation.
As I studied the history of Black Americans and the systemic forces that have blocked our financial growth, I noticed the echoes of colonization and extraction in African countries too. This awareness fueled a deeper call in me—to support our communities in remembering who we are and reclaiming what’s always been ours.
Despite growing up with financial limitations, I’ve worked jobs since I was 14, earned a Master’s degree, hired a financial advisor, and spent over 7 years in financial strategy and management roles. But the biggest lesson? Our ancestral gifts hold value.
And society often teaches us to ignore or doubt those gifts.
As co-founder and Director of Membership & Development for the Eldest Daughters Collective, I realized I had a natural talent for business strategy, community building, and revenue generation. I’d been guiding loved ones through this kind of work for years—without ever naming it.
Rooted In Glow is the name I chose to honor that truth.
It reflects what I believe: that our radiance is not performative—it’s remembered.
That when we reconnect with our lineage, heal financial trauma, and step into
authentic leadership, we don’t just glow—we rise. We build legacy.
What I Do Through Rooted In Glow
I help BIPOC women and families heal intergenerational wounds around money, identity, and belonging—while building businesses, creating aligned income, and embodying joy in the process. Whether through coaching, strategy, or community offerings, I’m here to help us all rise—rooted, radiant, and unapologetically whole.
This is my offering. This is my inheritance. This is my glow.
Why Ancestral Healing?
Ancestral healing is more than a practice; it’s a journey back to the roots of who we are— bringing light to the paths of those who came before us. This work is about honoring our lineage, understanding their struggles and triumphs, and recognizing how these experiences ripple through our own lives. It’s about healing not just ourselves, but our entire lineage—past, present, and future.
For me, ancestral healing is deeply personal. It bridges the gap between traditional psycho-spiritual coaching and tangible, daily transformation. It’s about embodying insights, acknowledging the wisdom of those who came before us, and making actionable changes that ripple into every layer of our lives—and the lives of those around us.
Why do I focus on this? Because our ancestors are not just part of our past—they shape our present and influence our future. Healing these connections helps us break cycles of trauma and foster new cycles of joy, rest, and prosperity. It’s about healing our relationship with money, power, worth, and self.
Ancestral healing isn’t just about looking back—it’s about shining forward.
It allows us to live more fully in the present, informed by the wisdom of the past, and moving toward a future where we are whole, empowered, and deeply connected to the roots that ground us.
