My unofficial title is that of a wellness anthropologist. My job is to ensure we don’t “lose the recipes.”

I’m endlessly curious about the origins of Black women’s self-care and wellness practices and how it influences the way we care for ourselves today.

I’m probably somewhere writing or interviewing someone, asking them, “Who taught you how to care for yourself?”

That question became my first book, Bloom How You Must.
