My Journey: The Heart Behind AfroEssence
Hi, I'm Princess, Founder of AfroEssence,
Reclaiming Wellness for Black Women—and Redefining It for Institutions
My journey bridges two worlds: the fast-paced, life-saving precision of emergency nursing and the deep, soul-nourishing wisdom of ancestral healing.
As an ER nurse (with certifications in BLS, ACLS, Trauma Informed Care and behavioral health training), I’ve witnessed how Western healthcare often fails Black women; treating symptoms while ignoring the roots of trauma, stress, and disconnection.
As an African woman, I’ve also seen how abandoning ancestral wellness erodes our joy.
AfroEssence was born to change both.
Today, this work lives in two ways:
For Black Women: 1:1 coaching, rituals, and communities to reclaim wholeness.
{While our framework is designed by and for Black women, our telehealth services are open to all who approach this work with cultural humility—especially those healing racialized or intergenerational trauma.}
For Organizations: Trainings to help clinics, law firms, and companies honor cultural wellness without appropriation.
My Transformation—And Yours
I spent years shrinking to fit in, mistaking people-pleasing for power until life shook me awake.
Through my own healing, I learned:
Healing is multidimensional; it must start at the root, weaving together body, spirit, and mind. Anything less is a bandage.
Self-love isn’t selfish, it’s survival. Your wholeness ripples outward.
A society that operates at whole energy thrives because when we heal ourselves, we heal our communities.
Our "flaws" are often ancestral strengths in disguise, waiting to be reclaimed.
True freedom begins when we stop asking permission to shine.
This is why AfroEssence exists: to equip you with rooted tools for your liberation—and to help organizations foster spaces where that liberation can flourish.
