Welcome to
Radiant & Rising
A sacred space created for the care, healing, and flourishing of Black people.
We believe Black people deserve places that center love, rest, joy, and the intentional practice of self-worth and well-being. Radiant & Rising invites you into rhythms of reflection, connection, and wholeness—because healing is not just necessary, it is our birthright.
Radiant & Rising begins with and centers Black people. Through practices, coaching, and intentional gatherings, we support healing that honors identity, restores joy, and strengthens agency.
We also offer carefully curated spaces for allies committed to understanding and disrupting anti-Blackness—held separately and with thoughtful design—so that the work of transformation happens with care, accountability, and respect.

Love: Rooting ourselves in care and sacred regard
Joy: Making space for delight, rest, & pleasure
Peace: Returning to our breath, boundaries, & balance
Awareness: Gently unlearning harmful stories & systems
Agency: Choosing how we want to show up, on purpose
