Still on #rememberingherbertwigwe Death is the only existential truth, we hate to tell ourselves but eventually compelled to do and accept. It is low quality thinking, to be able to choose how we live, but not be able to choose how we die. How death happens to us all can be different and not within our control, but choosing how we die is as good a choice like choosing how we live. The Wigwes' choosed how they died, the tributes and eulogies received, as I sat close to the front pews and rolls were all confessions of people who saw them lived Intentionally. Being intentionally about how you would be remembered, through the good works already done, is an automatic plan to choosing how one desires to die. Truly, how we live now is how we die eventually. If you live so intentionally, causing impacts and solving lots of problems, while advancing humanity, like Dr. Herbert Wigwe did, then you are already by this intentionally living, choosed how you will die. How death will happen to us is uncertain and unknown, but how you choose to die, is our making, beginning with how we are living now. The day we were all born, was the same minute our race to dying started, what we all do in between, is how we all choosed to die. May will all die well, because we already like choosed to Live well, amen. To a greater becoming... #IamSignature

Spoiler alert: death is a certainty for all of us. Yet so many of us spend so much time and energy avoiding the subject of death at all costs. Have you ever wondered why? What scares you most about death? Not talking about death doesn't make it goes away. It only makes the monster in the shadows loom larger. Facing our fears about death can help us live a better life today. It is time to break our silence. Having honest, compassionate, open conversations about death can help make it less scary and bring us all some peace. #DeathPlanning #StartTheConversation

Death is not the end of life but the end of suffering. It signifies the conclusion of the pain and struggles that are part of our earthly existence. Rather than viewing death as a final termination, we can see it as a release, a transition from the hardships of life to a state of peace. This perspective allows us to approach death with a sense of acceptance and tranquillity, understanding that it brings relief from suffering and offers a serene closure to our life's journey. #endoflife #death #dyingmatters #deatheducation

Last night was unforgettable. I hosted a Death Archetypes dinner at The Natural Funeral, bringing together an incredible group of people who were unafraid to discuss their own mortality. The Death Archetypes guided us as we uncovered our own unique relationship to mortality, revealing how these insights can shape our lives past, present, and future. Together, we broke the silence, often shrouding the taboo topic of death by sharing stories, exploring our fears, and discussing our top regrets. Death is often seen as something to avoid talking about, but last night proved that embracing it is anything but morbid. Instead, it is liberating, grounding, and, ultimately, life-affirming. To everyone who attended—thank you for showing up, for your openness, and for proving that contemplating mortality is a path to a more meaningful life. If you're curious about joining or hosting one of these dinners, comment or DM me! Let's bring more of these transformative experiences into the world.

Seven Years of Becoming Today marks 7 years. Seven years, 84 months, 2,556 days, 61,344 hours, 3,680,640 minutes, and 220,838,400 seconds since the life I once knew was taken from me. Seven years that he has not gone to prison, but I have become someone he will never know—a person transformed by strength, honor, wisdom, grit, and grace. The person I was before my assault died that day. But from that loss, I have built someone new. Someone who carries the story forward, not as a weight, but as a light to guide others. I live so others may not suffer the way I have, so they can know that survival is possible, that healing is real, and that they are believed. Belief is where my healing began. To those who have believed me, your trust saved my life. It gave me the strength to begin again, to reshape the narrative, and to use my voice—not just for myself, but for others who are still searching for theirs. Today, I honor who I was, but I also celebrate who I’ve become. I am here. I am whole. And I am unshakably committed to ensuring that no one’s story is ever silenced or dismissed. If you take one thing from this, let it be this: Believe survivors. Belief is the foundation of healing. And with healing comes the power to change the world. Here’s to the next seven years—marked not by silence or suffering, but by resilience, advocacy, and hope. #SurvivorStrength #HealingJourney #RISENow #BelieveSurvivors

𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮. Stay with me here. We all descend from survivors. Every single one of us. Generational trauma lives in our bones. Science now shows us that it literally impacts our DNA, and the DNA of the people that come after us. But so does the ability to overcome. Resilience gets passed down to us from the people who came before us. From a young age (perhaps too young), I obsessed over the Holocaust. I wondered if it could happen again. I was shocked by the depths of human cruelty. And I felt deep sadness for my grandparents and all that they had lost. The industrialization of killing that took place less than a century ago turns the bones to ice. Some things are hard to think about. And yet we must. But we must also focus on the strength it took to not only survive that barbarous cruelty, but the strength it took to go on living, to create families, to love again after staring down evil in its purest form. The aspect of my grandparents’ stories that I am choosing to focus on is their courage, their resiliency, and their strength. My quest is to find the secret ingredients that allowed them to go on after losing everyone they loved and everything they knew. What baggage was handed down to you from previous generations? What strengths were handed down to you from previous generations? #GenerationalTrauma #GenerationalResilience #Overcome #HolocaustAwareness #NeverForget #Shoah
