Unlearning Work 

 

At the core of Learning 2 Unlearn is a commitment to deconstructing materialist ways of being that have shaped how we see ourselves and one another. True transformation—whether in an organization or across society—begins within. By addressing how white supremacy and racism manifest in our hearts, minds, and everyday actions, we create the conditions for authentic change. Through carefully designed workshops, speaking engagements, and strategic consultations, I guide leaders to embrace spiritual coherence and walk their talk. This work is grounded in an Unlearning Framework informed by a heart, head, and hand praxis, inviting you to step into accountability and reclaim your epistemic freedom.  

Narrative Change Work 

 

The stories we carry shape our beliefs, behaviors, and the systems we inhabit. My narrative change work focuses on understanding, challenging, and reshaping these dominant narratives so we can cultivate cultures and organizations that serve people and planet. From strategic events that steward wealth for collective well-being to facilitating conversations at international gatherings, my aim is to guide you toward narratives that foster equity and regeneration. By learning to tell new stories, we open pathways for cultural transformation and systemic change.

Dialogue Facilitation Work 

 

Meaningful change often emerges from honest, open conversations—especially around the issues we find hardest to discuss. My dialogue facilitation is rooted in two principles: the importance of open-hearted honesty and the need for spiritual accountability. I hold space for discussions on race, mental health, gender, power, and wealth, believing that these dialogues are essential for building trust, deepening understanding, and nurturing solidarity. When we engage in courageous conversation, we prepare the ground for collective healing and new possibilities.

Poetry & Art

 

Artistic expression transcends boundaries and invites us into deeper truths. As a slam poet and contemporary African artist (working as @IArtShanti), I use creative mediums to explore identity, spirituality, sexuality, and resilience in the face of the world’s interconnected challenges. Poetry is both an archive of our struggles and a blueprint for our liberation. My paintings, grounded in the principle of Ubuntu, reflect a process of re-imagining ourselves—beyond imposed narratives and into spaces of creative self-definition. These artistic endeavors complement my broader work, offering another way to engage and transform how we know and relate to one another. 

An Invitation
I invite you to explore these facets of my work and discover how, together, we can co-create a future grounded in truth, liberation, and flourishing. Through unlearning, narrative change, dialogue, and art, we can nurture new pathways to collective well-being and societal renewal.
