Took a minute to sit outside and say hi to some friends hanging outside in the parking lot 🌱🐞 yesterday was one of those days that just felt hard. taking a moment to appreciate the little things helps me get out of my head and feel more connected. Life is absolutely amazing and I definitely get caught up in “the daily grind” and forget to be grateful for the little things, like the sweet aroma of fresh fennel or the gentle rustling of wild oats. Even in the city there is pant magic everywhere 🌇🌾✨ #parkinglotparty #parkinglit 😜 #lol #ladybugparty #sunshineinmylife #fennel #oatstraw #computerbreak #movingforward

Fall is a great time to start looking within. I’ve been taking time to review this past year and find ways to improve in my personal and professional life. I’ve spent much of my life running from and suppressing my feelings. Hearing feedback has been really hard. Recently I noticed how a past trauma was disrupting my life so I took some time to open up and let go of some things I was holding onto. I immediately noticed positive changes happen and was able to get out of my own way. I’m not “fixed” by any means but now I’m able to take time to and try to find my blind spots and opportunities for growth. #fallreflections #personalgrowth #saturdaymorning #feelingproud #personalbest #journeytomybestself #encinalboatlaunch #sfbay

I’ve been dreaming about hosting this workshop for years but I’ve been hesitant because I sometimes get in my own way. I’m a big picture thinker and see endless possibilities but with the support of @agnetalifeandwellness I was able to make and plan and execute it. So now I’m excited (and a still a little nervous 😬) to announce that I’m facilitating a make and take workshop to make your own body care products with essential oils. Many products that people use have nasty ingredients for you and the environment. So show yourself and our earth some love by learning to make your own body care products with me on Sunday October 20 @queenhippiegypsy 10-12 More info and tickets available in the link in my bio #DIY #womensupportingwomen #naturalbeauty #blackgirlmagic #myoilsareessential #oakland #thingstodoinoakland #breakingthrough #earthfirst #creatingmemories #feelinghellagood

I love seeing people win! I especially love seeing people I work with go beyond their goals. I started working with Wilson @renalwarrior2016 a few years ago and now opened up @themissionhqfitness to support other people heal, grow and surpass what they thought was possible. If you want support to transform your life, we have a great team dedicated to seeing every body win! #themissionhq #renalwarrior #outshineyourpain #alameda #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #mondaymotivation And I teach 2 free low impact classes a week for seniors and people with chronic illness on Tuesday and Wednesday’s at 10 am.

#beachbabes celebrating the end of summer. The #SFBay is absolutely glorious. I’ve lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never imagined leaving it. I’m so lucky to have a massive support system that allows means my kid to stay. Lately I’ve been stressed about how to make it all work but box jumps+sunshine+salt water= 😄 #celebratelife #sunshine_and_shorelines #bestcoast #equinox #moming #coolmomsclub #superbluesky #nofilter #staygold #gloriousweather

I’ve been thinking about the phrase #hurtpeoplehurtpeople and how important it is for us to reflect on our own traumas and coping mechanisms so that we can better treat each other, especially the young people who we are borrowing resources from. I hope my kid has the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. She has inspired me to grow in so many ways and think deeply about how my actions will impact her future. I want to live my life from a place of love and gratitude and work towards letting go of my fears. 📸 @violainelenoir #loveoverfear #sutrobaths #sunset #selfgrowthjourney #parenting #momlife #beachbabes #endingtoxiccycles #changetheworld #tomorrow #mondaymotivation

I’m a big fan of the DIY movement because industrialism is not sustainable. When I make my own products I can control what goes in, including other people’s labor and environmental impacts. I also like it as a way to support my community and subvert capitalism. #LetsDoIt #Together #sustainability #communityovercompetition #buildingcommunity #communityismedicine #homemade #underminecapitalism

Sometimes I am #toocoolforschool I grew up with a literal clown for a dad so I’ve been practicing my hat tricks from a young age. At times I’ve struggled with fitting in because of my quirks but I’m starting to be more bold and embrace my whole self, wackiness and all. Come get down with me on MWF mornings at 9 for #mixedMovement. It’ll be a little silly, a little bad bitch and a lot of fun. #HatTricks #ClowningAround #RainbowsAndShit #HotGirlSummer #OkBitch #BayAreaPOC #CircusKid #MissionHQ

I’m excited to bring multiple disciplines together into a movement practice that will help ground you to stand up for justice. We need to be building ourselves up physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and all they “llys” because the amount of injustice in the world can feel debilitating. Let’s get together and support ourselves and each other to take on the world. #HappyFriday #SocialJustice #YesWeCan #TheMissionHQ #QPOC #MixedMovement

Stepping awkwardly into myself 🥴 Having a kid really through me off center. I’ve had to examine myself and my identity. For the past few years I’ve gotten lost in being “mom” My kid has helped me grow in so many ways but it’s also been a challenge to feel like myself with all the growth. I’m trying to focus on all the abundance and support I do have in my life to stay positive and hopeful that I can be better and inspire others. Also I might be beating my own personal record for eating the most tacos in a week, (if that’s not abundance then I don’t know what is). Thanks @cheferson_villa for keeping me week fed while supporting me to set myself up for success and cheering me on 😘 #awkwardinthebody #Tacos #MomBod #Early30s #PersonalGrowrh #JourneyToMybestSelf #StillFly #FeelingMyself #CityScape #HotGirlSummer #ThatDidNotHappen #Flowers

#DreamingOfTacos It’s been a challenge for me to work in the fitness industry as a feminist because I’m not interested in weight. I’m here to get people moving and feeling in their body. That’s why I’m excited to be part of @theMissionHQfitness Wilson @renalwarrior2016 shares my goal of helping people feel good and be healthy. I’ll be teaching low impact, judgment free classes that are great for anyone who wants to take the first step towards getting active. It’s never too late to start!⠀ ⠀

This honey dipped spirit has been getting her terpenoids in. I’ve lived my whole life in the SF Bay and every year I struggle with our slow start to summer. I’ve finally been able to soak up some sun along with primary and secondary metabolites! #ScienceNerdWithSwagger #SFBay #terpenes #DiffuserNecklace #FigLeaves #FeelingMyself #Summer #ForrestBathing #CityLiving #NatureLover

Counting all my blessings as I embark on this next adventure. I’ve been running around tying up loose ends in preparation for my trip to Cuba with my mom who grew up there and my daughter. I’m looking forward to being hot and being immersed in another way of life. I’ll also be planning for my next trip in November for the 500 year anniversary of Havana. That tour will focus on how to honor, reconcile and celebrate the pains of history and releasing ancestral trauma. I’ve been working on breaking toxic cycles for myself and my daughter, it’s challenging and a slow process but it needs to be done. I aspire to be better, so thank you universe for blessing me in so many ways. #Blactina #gratitude #traveltocuba #BreakingToxicCycles #IntergenerationalHealing #selfcare #patience 📸 @violainelenoir

Honestly I’m so excited for next year. I have so many ideas and more people wanting to join in on the planning which only means that this squad is going to get bigger and better. For now I’m putting all my sparkles away and getting ready to get some sun while studying Cuban dance and herbalism. #carnavalsf2019 #SFSkyline #USSHornet #BeadSquad #BayArea #peacocking #SquadGoals #sunset #goldenhour 📸 @violainelenoir
