Meditations By Mamas: Surrender Meditation w/ Thea Monyee
05/08/20 • 6 min
#DearMama: Surrender. Surrender is trusting. Surrender is knowing where you stop and a higher power begins. Surrender is opening your arms to allow what you need to find you, hold you and nurture you. This meditation is lead by our very own Thea Monyee and a concrete tool for rest and replenishment.
Thea is the one of the cohost of #DemBlackMamas & mother of three. She has recently launched her own podcast Shaping the Shift, available on all streaming platforms. Shaping the Shift is a podcast about change and uncertainty for dreamers and creatives. It is a mouthpiece for MARLEYAYO, the creative wellness consulting company founded by Thea Monyee with the goal to actively support and create tools to reverse the adverse effects of colonization and enslavement by liberating marginalized people around the globe through joy, pleasure, creativity, and intentional decolonization. The vision is to create and nurture a multi-dimensional organism that prioritizes the reintegration of spirit and liberation through education, entertainment, consulting, and land stewardship.
#MeditationsByMamas are lead by Black mamas to help us maintain alignment with healing, creativity and liberation to manifest joy and abundance.

DBM Episode 30 The Doctor Is In: A Conversation w/ Dr. Sayida Peprah about #BlackMaternalMentalHealth
#DearBlackPeople Birthing in a supportive chosen environment should not be othered or a privilege. It should valued as the norm. Whether we give birth or not we should all be connected to the experience. We should all be fighting for Black birth persons to be empowered to articulate and unapologetically create the birth experience we want long before a positive pregnancy test. Black maternal health does not begin with pregnant Black people. It begins with changing our minds. It begins by giving voice and value to bodies from the moment they enter the world. So if the moment arrives to usher a soul Earth side as our guest Dr. Sayida Peprah says “thriving is already instilled as a right not a privilege” and joy is the baseline. Now let’s get free yall and jump into Episode 30 of Dem Black Mamas!
