WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL HUMAN PROJECT?

The Practical Human Project™ is the place where my lived experience finally has a home. I decided to create a central hub since this kind of wisdom and knowledge doesn’t always make it to the forefront of conversations (and understandably so, it’s a different world). I’ve always felt that everyday knowledge can sometimes feel like recipes for life. Everyone has their way of concocting their own. Some write self-help books…I build rooms and containers for guidance and knowledge. My desire has always been to create a space where humans can find resources, connection, logic and a sense of self within their own communities.


This project holds everything I’ve gathered across fifty-one years of watching people move through the world as they pick up favorable and less favorable habits in life. I’ve also observed the ways in which some people rebuild after their lives fall apart. It’s admirable to witness the courage it takes for them to start over as well as the super-long arc of being a practical human in a construct that expects us to be everything else.


I call this project a dwelling with several rooms:


Room 1: Mosaic Intuitive™ - The Strategic Work

This is where people come to be seen without performance or judgement. Mosaic Intuitive™ is designed as a bridge stretching over a dam where one’s energy is contained. My clients and I stand there, together in real time and walk through whatever part of life is blocked or needs adjusting to help them maintain their proper energetic life flow. This may look like moving abroad, changing careers or making major life decisions. Mosaic Intuitive™ is the causeway of solution.


Room 2: Ice Dream Social™ - The Incubator

A soft landing for emerging builders, dreamers, entrepreneurs and visionaries who need space to develop what’s been living in their heads for years. It’s where creativity gets to breathe and flourish.


Room 3: EMPRESSION™ - The Protected Circle for Black Women

This is a think tank and gathering place where we can speak freely without the weight of being judged and observed. It’s a space for thought, strategy and truth; freedom of expression without needing to explain ourselves to anyone…Empress Energy.


Room 4: The Practical Human Podcast - The Elemental Conversation

I created this long-form space where I get to share critical details about life as I’ve lived it- the mistakes, certainties, ongoing grief, resilience and the mapped wisdom that comes from paying attention and taking notes. This is where my storytelling begins.


So there you have it. Each room is different, but they all carry the same intention: to restore humanity to the conversation and offer a space to check out useful wisdom in the form of guides, support and strategy.


Nothing here is about perfection and none of this is about branding yourself as someone who has it all figured out. Everything in this project is rooted in knowledge that comes from surviving, observing, rebuilding and loving yourself.


The Practical Human Project™ exists because people are hungry for tools that feel like real life, not theory, performance or glass-house-gurus, Just humanity and community. It’s time to build something better for ourselves.


This is where I keep the recipes.

The ones worth passing down.

The ones that make us human.


Welcome.
