Welcome to Metanoia

met·a·noi·a
noun

Welcome to Metanoia a blog sharing my daily experiences, travels, and random thoughts. What is metanoia? Metanoia can mean a lot to different people, but to me, it is an awakening that leads to personal transformation.

I selected the word metanoia for my blog because my womanism has been a transformational journey; it has included a series of tough moments, wake-up calls, awesome achievements, as well as learning to be present and available for myself and others. In recognizing and appreciating this, I feel awake and clear on who I am as a womanist, advocate, and sport professional. 

Regardless of what has brought you to Metanoia, I am excited to share with you my experiences, travels, and insights as they intersect with my womanism and spirituality.  

Thanks for visiting ☺️

Never Settle

My father’s words resonate with me as we move into an age of social consciousness where the measure of our success for women’s rights, civil rights, and human rights is indicative of how we look to our past for insight and inspiration, stand in our present bravely challenging systems of oppression and our own comfort zones and look up to the future inspired to create a better world for the next generation.
