She is my Mother and I am her Child.
I am blessed to have been raised by a powerful, iconic, strong woman who continuously fills me with an awareness of what it means to live fully with courage, compassion, and faith. My mother, Yola Edith Dessables was born in Petit Goave, Haiti in 1928. Hers was a life of joy, faith, family, and adventure. More than anything, she infused in me a strong and impenetrable belief that I can do and be anything. Her devotion to the La Vierge noire (The Black Madonna) has left me with an endless well of wisdom and inspiration from all sources of feminine divinity, strength, power, and compassion. We all have within us the capacity to give birth to new life. Each and every day, we are invited to create our best lives and to nurture our souls in communion with the planet and all its inhabitants. I am grateful to Yola Edith Dessables.

Most traditional faith paths are based on a patriarchal structure giving little recognition to the power and importance of the feminine divine.
It does not matter how you chose to identify in terms of your own gender, the feminine aspects of spirituality are rich and alive offering an abundance of wisdom and presence to individuals from a diverse prism of cultures and continents.
Whether exploring the gifts of the Black Madonna and her many analogous Afro-Indo-European variations including the Virgin of Guadalupe, Iemanja, Oshun, Our Lady of Czestochowa,
Ezili Danto, or swimming in the ocean of many other strong feminine archetypes including the Shekinah, Quan Yin, Mother Mary,
Mary Magdalene, Joan of Arc, Kali-Ma, Green Tara, Brigid, or ISIS, there is a deep discovery to be made about the power, protection, and guidance of these iconic, revered feminine archetypes.
Through meditations, oracle card readings, poetry, and prayer, we will tap into the often-uncharted territory of feminine divinity, power, compassion, consciousness, and sexuality.
