I’m OrganicRastaMom, your holistic health guide... I know the term "holistic influencer" might be trendy, but it gives me the ick. Instead, I identify as a Guru—someone who shares knowledge, guides others & sheds light on the path ahead. In this community, my mission is to initiate you into a "secret society" of sorts—where reclaiming your power means taking full responsibility for your life, your choices, and your well-being. But trust me, I wasn’t always this enlightened. At 22, I was a single mom, going through the motions, living on autopilot (thanks to the fluoride in my water and toothpaste). Like many, I was consuming the Standard American Diet (both physically—the food—and mentally—MSM), unhealthy AF and battling a host of hormonal issues: cystic acne, irregular periods, inflammation, eczema—the whole package. Honestly, if I hadn't hit the brakes, I’m certain I’d be well on the path to cancer by now, if I hadn’t already arrived. That’s not even touching on the layers of self-hate I was wrapped up in, mostly from internalizing Eurocentric beauty standards. I was out here frying my hair with relaxers so it could be “manageable” by someone else’s standards—chemicals that are now linked to an increased risk of fibroids (statistically higher in in Black women). I was altering my natural self to fit a beauty mold that was never meant for me, using makeup and hair products loaded with toxic chemicals. Products linked not just to hormonal disruption but to serious health issues like cancer and chronic disease. Fast forward five years, and I was deep-diving into documentaries exposing the hidden dangers in our food supply and every mainstream consumer product you can imagine—household items, beauty products, even synthetic fibers in clothing. They all contribute to the epidemic of chronic disease we’re seeing today. The more I uncovered, the clearer it became: we’ve been sold lies, programmed with misinformation, and led astray from the truth. For instance, by age 6, the average child in the U.S. is likely to have been introduced to Big Pharma for ADHD or another childhood condition, setting them on a lifetime path of dependency on medication. That’s not a coincidence—it’s part of a system designed to make lifelong consumers out of us. And it starts by compromising our health through the very products marketed as "safe."

I’ve been completely unplugged as I’ve been navigating the recent passing of my dear mother. I’m slowly finding my way back and am truly grateful to be reconnecting with this community. Looking forward to catching up and sharing space with you all.
