We all hit rock bottom at some point and that looks different for everyone. And sometimes, life places us in certain situations—sometimes repeatedly—until we heal and gain the wisdom our soul is calling us to embody.

I had the honor and privilege of sharing my catalyst for a better way of living and the wisdom I’ve gathered along the way.

I believe we all carry powerful stories, messages, and lessons that, when exchanged, can help us navigate our journeys. For too long, I’ve withheld my story—one that could serve as medicine for someone else.

With deep gratitude, I thank the phenomenal woman who provided a safe and open space for vulnerability and connection.

The full conversation is available on YouTube: @pathwaystopowerpod - 🔗 in my bio

My hope is to exercise my voice and experiences to encourage others to share their stories and reclaim their narratives.

Now more than ever is the time to recall power our mental and spiritual power.

Take care

-Ra

I created "A Journal For My Rising Thoughts - The Story of My Life" for you to have a safe space to share your inner world and narrate the story of your life- because we are writing it everyday whether you realize it or not.

There is a magical power in storytelling.

Speaking to many people I learned that so many of us are afraid to be vulnerable, even when we are by ourselves. I use to feel the same way. The intention of this journal is for it serve as your safe haven and to be vulnerable with yourself FOR yourself.

Journaling has changed my life so much. As a recovering overthinker, my mind would constantly be spinning with so many thoughts and I would always be overwhelmed- then shut down. Journaling helps me to process my thoughts and become more present in my day. It has become one of the ways I express love to myself.

I fell in love with writing since I was about 8/9 years. My 6th grade Language Arts teacher, Ms. Fletcher was the first to acknowledge my writing skills and it definitely boosted my confidence.

I've cultivated a deep level of self awareness of my own thoughts, habits, patterns-the good bad and the UGLY. Through journaling, I've been able to analyze deep inside of my psyche and use that as a compass to make better choices.

I Am Nefertiti Ra represents my journey of reparenting myself through the lens of my daughter, Nefertiti. Exploring my inner child and an expression of my creativity.

Journaling has helped me to learn about the most intimate parts of myself that I kept locked away for years out of shame and guilt and learned to surrender to self- acceptance, which led to truly standing IN LOVE with myself. Not just the "good" parts of me, but ALL of me.

I created a journal for you and a children's edition for the children in your lives. My mission here is to help our little humans understand themselves and raise them with emotional awareness tools help them to navigate their inner worlds, cause we know they will need it!

My hope is that you will get the same experience as myself and stand in love with all parts of you.

To get your journal, check out the link in my bio.

Much gratitude for your support💚💚

I believe there is a power in storytelling, journey with me as I share my birth story and how my sweet girl blossomed:

First off, babygirl starting baking while I was in Ghana of 2019. I found out I was pregnant February of 2020. I was elated, scared and nervous all at the same time. Being pregnant during the "pandemic" was extremely challenging, it's like the world just change instantly and I went into an isolation even more because I was pregnant and most of the time not in the mood lol. I met my beautiful sister-friend and bump partner @nykeba we had the same due date, same Midwife and an ultrasound appt. on the same day and close time so we bumped into each other. She was such an angel, having someone to experience pregnacy with who was having an similar experience was God sent!

Fast-forward to my last trimester, it was extremely challenging. We drove to to NYC (19 hours) at 7.5 months pregnant, no worries we slept overnight in the Carolinas, mama was tired lol. That's when the nightmares and insomnia began. I remember waking up to lucid dreams and being terrified thinking it was real. Since that night I was terrified of the night time. It was easy to be up in the day because I was distracted, but night came and my thoughts were loud and my body was restless. I became scared to sleep at night, I would wake up with heart palpitations and did not have the tools to calm myself down. I meet a sweet Sol and she was heaven sent, she would stay up with me through the night until I fell asleep, sometimes 5am, and I would sleep like a baby.

My body was exhausted and my blood pressure began to raise. My Midwife informed me that I can go to the hospital and get it checked or I can wait until the next day to go to her office for urine test. I debated long and hard because for one I was TERRIFIED of hospitals and had never been to the hospital or a traditional doctor office. We were seeing our Midwife in her private, comfortable homelike office and Magnolia Birthing Center in Miami FL. But my gut told me, Rakedah go get it check. Went to the hospital in Miami, all seemed like it was going well, then my BP went up super high and I was admitted. (see comments 👇🏿) by @itsrakedah

My daughter explained to me why she chose me to be her mother.

I’ve never felt so chosen. 💚
( although i was at the end of the line 😅)

I know my daughter chose me to show me that there has to be divine balance in order for me to thrive.

I’m deeply honored, and I wouldn’t have chosen another way.

Children come with so much wisdom if we allow them to also mother us, guide us, and teach us along the way.

There is a part of me that turned 6 today, right alongside my daughter.

As our children grow, we grow with them.

And today, I celebrate both

Happiest Birthday to my Nefertiti. 💚✨

**Sweet August 💚**

August is literally my favorite month of the year. I know the sun is blazing in sunny South Florida, but there’s just something about this month that always makes me feel the most alive.

The most vibrant.

It’s like a fire lights up inside of me, and I just wanna hold on to that feeling forever. 🔥

This year has been sooo beautiful. And not beautiful because the pictures look great lol. Beautiful because that’s what I decided it to be.

I feel like my whole life I’ve been searching for something. This deep yearning for something that I didn’t quite know what the heck I was searching for lol.

Come to find out, what I was searching for was a sense of belonging. Knowing. Feeling connected.

And what I’ve discovered is that the longing has always been an internal desire to love and be loved.

And love is infinite.

This season has truly expanded my heart space, and the gratitude I feel is deep.

So I’m sharing a little glimpse of the moments that filled me up. 💚

Sweet August, thank you for reminding me just how beautiful it is to be alive, to love, to be loved, and to choose the beauty in my own life. ✨

Summer Solstice ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Soooo, I feel like it's been a minute since I've written, and of course I've been in my head with this one lol.

But we're in the Summer (my favorite season), so I'm feeling fiery.

Day by day, moment by moment, I am learning to trust myself and my body.

And what dance teaches me is the language of my body.

My partner thinks I'm a crazy person because I watch replays of my videos all the time. But the truth is, that's how I get to know my body. I literally study my movements, what feels good, and what doesn't.

Because how we do one thing is typically how we do all things.

The places where I hesitate in movement often mirror the places where I hesitate in life. And the moments I surrender to the music remind me what trusting myself actually feels like.

Dance will show you where your body needs more love.
And really... I'm having so much fun learning and exploring my body in this way.

Writing helps me process my internal thoughts and experiences, and dance has been allowing me to feel—and to feel deeply.

As a Cancer Ascendant, my soul's purpose is to feel.

And maybe that's what I'm remembering.

That I am that girl.

And I'm finally paying attention 💛

When masculine meets feminine.

This was an amazing year for me.

Not because it was easy, but because I stayed 10 toes down and committed to what truly matters.

Being in my body.

Being present for myself, my daughter, my friends, and my family — that’s essential for me.

This year, I genuinely feel back in my body.
I’m more aware of my movements… and honestly, I now know when I’m outside of my body too.

The beautiful thing about this journey is:

• It’s fun
• I’m learning how to let my once-dominant masculine energy soften by becoming more fluid in my body and energy
• When you marry both energies — you’re golden

It’s even helped me increase revenue in my business.

I’m more confident than I’ve ever been.
I’m more in tune with my energy.

And I can feel again lol.

I’m extremely proud of myself for staying true to me — even when it felt hard and awkward as hell.

Plus, I got to dance with my friends… and most importantly, just have fun.

My word for 2026 is EMBODY.

To embody means to give visible form to an idea or feeling.

And I’ve learned that my purpose is simply to

feel —

and express what I feel.

So, Cheers to softening the heart,

bringing life back into our bodies,

and returning to our energy ✨

The Courage To Be Seen Through Friendships👯🏽‍♂️

Y’all… I literally had this sitting in my drafts for about a year 😂. Sometimes the medicine really is just for you until you’re ready to share it.

I want to talk about friendships. I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been feeling fear around sharing my stories. I go through a whole series of questions and doubts before I can muster up the courage to hit “post.”

This matters to me because I’ve mastered the art of hiding in plain sight.

Sometimes you don't realize how afraid you are of being seen until a friendship hold up a mirror.

So… here we go.

I believe friendships are one of the most important kinds of relationships we experience. They’re essential for your well-being.

I’ve learned sooo much about myself through my friendships. They’re special because you consciously choose the people who become part of your chosen family.

And just like anything meaningful, friendships require effort and intentionality in order to flourish.

For most of my life, I felt like I was running from myself — and somehow, my friends were always there.

I’ve also recognized that I created a quiet barrier around my heart. Being seen at my core used to scare me, like if people got too close, the love would somehow be pulled back. But these last couple of years have taught me differently. I’ve allowed myself to be fully seen, and instead of love being taken away, I’ve experienced more connection, more understanding, and more peace than I ever expected.

May we all continue choosing friendships that feel safe, honest, and aligned with who we’re becoming.

My Digital Prayer: Open Heart ❤️

This time of year is always a personal reflection for me because it’s my birth month. I love looking back at the past year and forward into the new one.

I wanted to share a few lessons that really shifted my perspective:

1. Receiving love.

This year, I felt sooo much love and acknowledgement on my birthday, and I’m deeply grateful. In the past, it was hard for me to truly receive love—not just saying thank you, but actually letting it land in my heart and cover my whole being. This time felt different. I’ve been praying to open my heart to the reciprocity and embodiment of God’s love… and I can say, ask and you shall receive.

2. Gratitude in everything.

Sometimes we forget how beautiful life really is, even in the middle of chaos. I’ve chosen to be grateful for it all. And yes, that even means being grateful for the pain, because even pain carries a lesson. Some lessons don’t reveal themselves until days, weeks, months, or even years later. But practicing gratitude—even for the smallest things—has shifted me in such a powerful way and continues to open my heart.

3. Courage over fear.

This year, I chose to be courageous. I always had it in me, but somewhere along the way I let fear take the driver’s seat. We’re not doing that anymore. Opportunities come when you move forward with the fear anyway. My fear was rooted in worrying about what others would think. But the truth is—it doesn’t matter. What matters is how I feel. At the core, we all just want to live as our truest selves without judgment. The more I leaned into that, the more connections I made simply by being real. Courage isn’t always easy, but what’s the alternative? The truth is—you only get what you want if you’re bold enough to go for it. And everything you desire is already waiting for you.

The real ones will always be rooting for you. ❤️
So here’s to another year of open hearts, deep gratitude, and unapologetic courage.

A Remembrance to Teenage Ra

Sacred Movement in My Solar Return ☀️

So imma need y’all to hold my heart with this one, as I share a sacred part of me.

It’s been on my spirit to put words to what I’ve been experiencing through this reconnection—a form of movement I didn’t even know I was craving.

My girl @x_primadania told me I’d love this sensual dance class and that I had to come. So I RSVP’d.

Walking into that first class? Whew—nervous as hell. I could feel all the tension in my body, and those make-believe eyes 👀 staring me down lol.

Fast forward two years later… I’m so grateful I stuck with it.

@archnpointdance guided me back to a part of myself I had buried most of my life. I remember being a teenager in high school, lowkey admiring the dance team, wishing I had the courage to try out. But fear held me back—fear of being seen, fear of being judged.

That shyness? Really it was insecurity. Self-consciousness about my body.
I was called names. People laughed, and I laughed along… until it wasn’t funny anymore. Those feelings don’t disappear. They grow.
Dance has been my way of reuniting my spirit with my body. It forces me to be present, to feel.

And it’s not just about dance—it’s about letting teenage Ra finally live those moments she didn’t have the courage for. It’s me holding her hand through the fears and insecurities. It’s about giving her freedom, honoring her with intention.

This journey has been about quieting the noise of other people’s opinions and not letting them hijack my mind. It’s been about moving in a way that feels so damn good. It’s about awakening the Lioness in me—tapping into my Leo Sun, Aries Moon, that fire in my soul.

Some people are born dancers. Some of us cultivate it with practice. Either way, it takes courage.
To be fully in your body, in the moment—there’s nothing more liberating.

Here are some fun behind the scenes memories over the past 2 years.✨️
