Why Rooted In Glow?
Rooted In Glow was born from lived experience, ancestral love, and the quiet fire of transformation.
Growing up, I navigated life as a Black girl in predominantly white spaces. Attending private schools with the support of my grandparents, I often felt like I didn’t fully belong. It wasn’t until high school that I began to dive deeper into my Black identity and the history of my people—beginning a lifelong journey of reclaiming my lineage, my purpose, and my power.
My love for ancestral connection runs deep. Over the past 16 years, my partnership with my Nigerian husband and our two children has shown me the power of embracing both African and Black American identities. Our journey together has shown me how healing is amplified when we reconnect across the diaspora—not only for cultural understanding but also for spiritual clarity, collective growth, and true leadership.
As I studied the history of Black Americans and the forces that have blocked our growth, I began to see how the echoes of colonization affect African countries too. This realization deepened my mission: to help our communities remember who we are, reclaim what’s always been ours, and rise into leadership that honors both our ancestral wisdom and our fullest potential.
As Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer for the Eldest Daughters Collective, I saw firsthand how I had been guiding transformation for years—bridging strategy, community building, and leadership, without realizing I was already doing the work. It was then that I fully embraced my calling.
Rooted In Glow is the name I chose to honor that truth. It reflects my belief that our radiance isn’t something we have to earn—it’s something we’ve always had. When we reconnect with our lineage, heal intergenerational wounds, and step into authentic leadership, we don’t just glow—we rise, we lead, and we build legacies.
Incorporating K-pop into my work was a natural fit. I’ve always been inspired by how K-pop idols blend individuality with collective energy—each one showing up as their authentic self, yet united in purpose. This resonates deeply with my approach to leadership: individual empowerment within a collective vision. K-pop teaches us that our leadership is not about performing or seeking validation, but about embodying our true selves and contributing to a greater collective power.
I work with visionary cycle-breakers—entrepreneurs, creatives, change agents, and leaders—who are ready to manifest their next level of success by honoring their story, their energy, and their ancestral gifts. Whether through coaching, strategy, or community offerings, I’m here to help you level up, 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.
