Peace. Hopefully, by now you know that I’m working on a fundraiser to help secure a space for my massage therapy practice Wild Seed Wellness at the Living Room Project in West Oakland. We still need to raise about $251 by JUNE 2 (3 days away!) to reach our goal of $3500. Moving to this space…

MALIAMU: Interview with Ana María Agüero Jahannes, Photographer & Massage Therapist
“When it was brought to my attention that I have a natural ability (or a well-honed interest that started early on), I began taking clients in my home for a couple years in Brooklyn. I had tons of support from friends, but there were a couple of brown queer women who were regular clients. At the time, I was working at the Audre Lorde Project (alp.org) trying to create safe environments for queer and trans people of color and I really began seeing huge and necessary connections. Radical work has to be done on a community level and on an individual level. This is my approach to create a safe place within the body. We need to know ourselves, love ourselves and be healthy.”“I can say I have touched, literally touched, such a variety of folks.”Read the rest of the interview and check out the photos at maliamu.com

ELIXHER: How and why did you begin doing healing work?
ANA: I went to New York University, studied Media, Culture and Communications, graduated and started working in art education and community organizing. I lost a job leaving me with a wonderful amount of time on my hands. People all around me were talking about hustling. I figured I needed a hustle, so photography and massage therapy became my hustles. More importantly they became my passions. Now I don’t hustle. I take my time. Slow cook on low heat. Learn my crafts in and out. (I went back to school for massage therapy.) And share them. I’m a full-time massage therapist with a blossoming career and I’m in L-O-V-E love with my work.

MALIAMU: Interview with Ana María Agüero Jahannes, Photographer & Massage Therapist
Why do you think a holistic lifestyle is important to women of color in particular?
“We’re already whole people. We just need to rediscover, rework and learn how to consciously and actively live as whole people. Why leave out parts? We can handle it.”

11 mrxxiv asked: I'm not sure if this is considered Irony. But if you mean laundromat as in Laundry + Mat. That is the most hilarious and clever idea I've thought of today. (: Plus what you did right there might be efficient. :3
efficiency in this case is relative. it works well for me cuz i reeeeally don’t like leaving the house to go to the laundromat, and this enables me to chill in my house all day, jamming the jams and wear my leotards and such.
