I am a yoga teacher, artist, writer, creativity coach, Reiki practitioner, radio host, and life entrepreneur. In 2006, I founded kg yoga life practices. For more information, visit http://kgyoga.blogspot.com.
Since 2003, I have been working as an artist-in-residence for Smith Farm Center for Healing and the Arts at Howard University Hospital. Through Reiki healing touch, kind and gentle chair yoga, breathing exercises, meditation, music, poetry, creative writing,prayers, affirmations, wire sculpture, painting,drawing,collages, and storytelling, I work alongside individuals and families in hospital rooms to foster hope, encouragement, laughter, deep healing and renewal.
In addition, I facilitate self-care and expressive arts workshops for women, healthcare professionals, people living with cancer and HIV/AIDS, interfaith communities, and children with special learning styles.
My debut novel, Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One was published by iUniverse in August 2007. It is available for sale on Amazon.com. Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One tells the story of Karma Francois, a thirty-something Oakland-born BoHo B.A.P. (Bohemian Black American Princess) with Louisiana roots and urban debutante flair. Karma represents a new type of Black woman.... a yoga teacher, museum curator, and art consultant. She is a departure from the video vixens and stoic matriarchs. The way she wears her womanhood as she confronts the effects of her poor life choices and embraces a spiritual journey of healing and love, makes her a 21st century archetype that everyone can relate to.
