#AskAuntie: Storytime!

😂 I was a hot mess… the bright side? I eventually found my way.

Learning to conduct ourselves in a virtuous manner can help us to safely navigate life, it minimizes drama, especially with the constant pull of negative influences and illusions from virtual reality.

If recognition and success requires us to disrespect ourselves and others, we lose the gift of sight and sound vision.

As we learn, grow and discover ourselves… we’re able to look back observe and begin to correct behavior that separates us from the divine.

It takes time for us to understand our light and to know it illuminates the brightness when we’re moving with the virtue of a pure heart.

🐪 Be nice to me, we’ll get there!

Y’all, just hours before, while smashing a plate of couscous and sautéed veggies, a group member asked me, “You gon’ ride the camel?”

“I’m not really into exploiting animals for a photo opp, I’d really only ride a camel if I had to for transportation.”

And BOOM! Our sprinter driver drops us off in the middle of the Berber mountains to transition to our camel ride— the only way to get to our campsite.

Turned out to be an amazing adventure. #Mariworks

#AskAuntie: Grooming By Predators

Often times people are blinded by those who are predators as a result of receiving special attention, focus and/ or care.

This can happen in a variety of dynamics with people in positions of power, authority or guidance. This includes (but is not limited to) educators, mentors, coaches, guides, employers, celebrities and or crushes.

It’s important to recognize behaviors that suggest the need for secretive or private interactions.

Yes, privacy can be respected… but not at the expense of becoming trapped into situations that have our dignity, sanity or safety disrespected.

No matter how good the special attention, love bombing or promises maybe… it’s never worth putting ourselves at risk of mental, emotional or physical damage.

I’m not here to pose from a space of superiority, I’m here to testify… as majority of us have been directly or indirectly impacted by the realities of harm and wrongdoing in the dark.

No guilt, shame, weaponizing or blame… we’re all here on this healing planet to live and learn.

Blessings taken for granted can spoil and become a curse… this often determines if our life experience becomes better or worse.

May we surrender to the discipline necessary to put GOD first… this is the ultimate flow for authentic restoration and healing work.

I found beauty in the desert.

I found beauty in me.

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.

May our wells run deep and be replenished by the most high.

#AskAuntie: Why are you so harsh?

I’m not a school teacher. I’m not a therapist. I’m not governed by restricting district rules and regulations. I’m not here to diagnose and/ or prescribe for disorders or psychosis issues.

I am a social wellness leader. I’m here to facilitate exploration experiences for people who are ready to do accountability work. I am here for people who want to be responsible for themselves and tap into the inner power required to transform into healthier happier human beings.

This requires a level of intensity and participation that is not for everyone, and I’m in complete acceptance of that.

No force, no victims, only volunteers. I work with those who are ready to GET THAT WORK and experience results.

It takes big energy and effort to create life changes, transformational outcomes and overall social wellness.

Who must you become to achieve your dreams?

What are you committed to, purposely?

When will you overcome your fear and blockage?

Where will you plant your seeds of courage and strength?

How are you preparing and practicing for your success?

Your gifts, blessings and victories await you.

#mariworks

Adulthood.
Unrealistic expectations.
Imposter syndrome.
Control Issues.
Ownership.
Social Emotional Awareness.

🫰🏽 And yes, I snapped my fingers to refocus attention, it’s a gentle but firm way to simultaneously listen to the current speaker and not punish a student who is more than likely chattering out of excitement … Auntie style.

Shout out to this bright student who was willing to be accountable without guilt or shame… this is how we recognize, mature and grow.

People who don’t receive opportunities to respectfully practice accountability often struggle to communicate and problem solve in real time. Our society and the impact of COVID really did a number on people’s ability to engage, communicate and work through overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

The world will not guarantee safe spaces at every second, learning how to navigate mental, emotional and energetic challenges without doing harm to ourselves and others is a great way to mature EQ before high expectations for an advanced IQ.

Shout out to the juniors and seniors, soon to be adults in society, willing to own up and recognize that no matter the circumstance, we are responsible for our words and actions.

🇲🇦 Let us sit bent, but talk straight.

‎أنا ابنة رجل مغربي

So proud of you.

This young adult opened her mind and heart with her willingness and ability to:

Engage and express respectfully
Accept emotional regulation support
Acknowledge and not suppress anger
Vocalize contributing factors
Participate in critical thinking
Observe situational perspectives
Take accountability
Overcome challenges
Accept guidance
Find resolve with healthy action
Extract a powerful lesson
Move forward without doing harm

… and smile her beautiful smile upon a deeper level of self discovery and receiving the appropriate auntie love I have to give.

I’m also proud of the students who were mature enough to allow her space to have this special few minutes of specific care she deserves. Each of them had the opportunity to engage, ask questions or share… even the introverts showed appreciation for the effort in the room.

#AskAuntie: How can I do what you do?

I’d be lying if I said I had one goal and one route. I provide a plethora of services, so my educational evolution consisted of a variety of learning experiences.

I’ve got about 10k hours in each of these areas:

Performance Art
Activism & Leadership
Community Storytelling
Mental Health Services

Overall, they’re all rooted in the beauty, magic and healing power of high level community engagement.

Student, apprentice, public speaker, master teacher, coach, consultant, facilitator, master of ceremonies

= Social Wellness Leader

The mission has always been to
leave my community more beautiful and beneficial than when I inherited it…. local to worldwide.

I’m in this thang.

August marks another year! Thank you to my friends and family that took the time to celebrate my life. Shout out to cuzzo @womanager504 with the background vocals and bday surprises.

I’ve got amazing goals for this year.

#mariworks

It’s true. We’re all learning this human thing day by day. We all need and deserve support as we navigate the journey.

Parents, we don’t have to be perfect, but we do have to be present and accept the ever changing needs of the young adults we love.

Young adults, some of us parents are trying the best we can and it’s not always easy to be a student and guide for you simultaneously.

There are times when our emotions can create blockage… but both parents (guardians) and young adults can learn to work together to understand the changes and needs on both sides— to make it through.

I’m sending you all positive energy and reminding you— that we can overcome the obstacles if we are willing to do the work with honor, respect and forgiveness when we struggle.

May this be a reminder and energize us when we are weary during our human growth and development phases… life is one big rites of passage process— and we’re all trying to graduate to the next level.

We got this.

When we empower our youth with the gift of self determination … they are capable of speaking up and speaking out in ways that uplift their dignity. Preparing youth for adulthood requires patience, devotion and courage.

I was truly a blessing to revisit and work with a campus of students who value opportunities to learn and grow.

D—you have a champion spirit. You’re an example for many young adults who need to remember— that you can do anything you put your mind, heart and soul into!

Thank you for your participation and willingness to share your reflection.

Y’all remember D and the junior class from last school year?

Well, they’re all seniors now… and guess who returned to facilitate a special 3 hour senior workshop experience?

These young adults got that work today. They were respectful and honest. It truly is my joy to foster diverse approaches for their human growth and development, prepare them for the real world and help them to work together as they inherit this planet.

They all engaged in culturally, responsive critical thinking activities, mental health and emotional hygiene practices.

Social wellness is alive and these young adults are willing to do the work to learn, understand and contribute. It gets deep!

So proud of you- class of 2025!
