Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedImage Description: Amanda wears a reddish-pink long sleeve blouse with a necklace. She stares into the camera. Behind her, in the left-hand corner, is a tall plant. Amanda is a multi-hyphenate artist born and raised in San Francisco, California. As an artist and spiritual practitioner, most of her work revolves around her connection to Jamaica and her Caribbean heritage at large. When she’s not working with her hands through prayer, art, or dance, she’s either eating sweets or singing sweet somethings to her cat.We talk about:
What it was like growing up on the West Coast in San Francisco, California
What called her to New Orleans
Amanda talking to the wind and her experiences with Oyá
Faith in signs, messages and synchronicities
Paying attention and tending to our thoughts
How we talk about the mind or our minds (Examples shared: Western labels, Neuro-expansiveness in relation to the Caribbean, golden threads of light attached to our heads via the San people in South Africa, Ori within Ifá, the soft spot on babies’ heads)
The vibrancy of Jamaica
Portals in New Orleans
Amanda’s near-death experience and Quantum Immortality
The dreams she was having as a child for nearly 10 years
The Kongo Cosmogram and the Kalunga line in Bantu-Kongo Cosmology (i.e. the Kalunga line in/at Lake Lanier in Georgia and Flat Bridge in Jamaica)
The malleable or programmable nature of water
Shedding like a snake
Amanda’s spiritual legacy + much more!
