Satya (SAH-TEE-YA) ---New York City native-- is the CEO of WOCHR, vegan, black nationalist, published co-author, global self-care & wellness Influencer, yogi, philanthropist, activist + eternal student. She believes that it is our duty to uplift black communities. She uses holistic wellness practices such as yoga, meditation, spiritual/political ancestral healing and plant-based living to facilitate and hold space for genuine self-care.
Satya has built an empire through her work, and it is her life’s purpose to heal black communities. After HBO Vice News created a segment highlighting Satya and the WOCHR's vision and mission in Costa Rica, Satya and the Women of Color Healing Retreats went viral, instantly making Satya and her awesome black wellness space a global sensation. Satya and the WOCHR have been featured in countless major publications around the world, including Essence, Afro Punk, AOL, and The Griot. It's only fitting that Yoga Alliance + HBO refer to Satya as the “brain-child” of yoga and black wellness, as she has dedicated her life to these two beautiful ways of life, and continues to share them within her culture and global community. As a global influencer, Satya has been on multiple radio stations, podcast, publications and she has spoken on historically black college panels due to the success of the retreats and her vital message for black women.
Satya’s philosophy: When we heal ourselves, we begin to heal our communities. When we focus on our wellness, we begin to lead a more spiritual life + we begin to heal from systemic racism.
Satya believes in the ways that the power of Pan- Africanist politics combined with Black Spirituality can help a black human life blossom. As a result, she is dedicated to having women love themselves unconditionally through the practice of holistic wellness and yoga. Although Satya is aware that gender is a social construct, her ultimate goal is to cultivate a safe space for women and children of color to thrive on their individual life and spiritual journey.
Satya understands that before all of us become who we are, a childhood is our launching place. She is of the belief that a fun, grounded, and safe childhood leads to healthy, and loving adults. In the spirit of that belief, she has also created the first Free Kids of Color Yoga & Arts program for children living in underserved neighborhoods in the tri-state area. Herself a former New York City kid, Satya relishes in the ability to impact her community as she intimately understands the hardships that children in black communities face. In her day to day, Satya enjoys yoga philosophy, traveling, photography, holistic wellness, being a BOSS, and discussing progressive black liberation.
Satya loves to travel! If you're interested in having Satya attend your events, workshops, keynote speaking engagements, panels, or interviewing her about her unique lifestyle, wellness, veganism, travel, yoga, and/or progressive black politics, the best time to book Satya is throughout the summer months of May-September. Satya may also be available year-round, depending on the event.
