But really, it stemmed from not feeling free to show up as exactly who I am.
The Holistic Academic is my resistance to the traditional academy. A reminder that love is the highest vibration. I am a lover of words and I question all things. I choose to write about Blackness, love, power, health, sex, communication, family...
Welcome, to the Holistic Academic.
