Hi y'all!

I'm Amanda, and I'm an expressive arts facilitator.

After living through a series of events that seem straight out of a novella or K-drama, I sought out ways to handle my issues and healthy ways. Therapy helped so much, but it didn't take care of everything that I was experiencing.
Black and Brown MaGes,

Are you carrying unresolved grief, anger, anxiety, and pain? Do you feel weighed down by what you're experiencing? Do you want to remember your joy and what it means to be you again?

Restore yourself using expressive arts. No creative experience is necessary!

I can't believe we're already halfway through the year.

What creative or relaxing things are you looking forward to this month?

I don't know about y'all, but June was incredibly slow. At the same time, it's weird to think that the year is halfway over.

Today is a great day to reflect on the things you've accomplished this year, no matter how small, and think about the ways you want to change for the better July-December.

It's Friday!

For many of y'all, you're getting ready for the weekend.

Take time to put on your favorite song and shake out the stress from this week. After that, list three things that you're grateful for that happened this week.

Share in the comments below what this practice did for you.

You've got to do what's best for you, even when it's hard.

What are you going to do that's in your best interest, and how are you going to care for yourself once it's done?

This weekend is going to be filled with so much love, fun, and connection as Juneteenth is celebrated.

However, it can be hard to feel those things when you are restricted by the stresses from work, your relationships, your location, and the state of the world.

I'm so sick of the going back and forth about Juneteenth and certain individuals instigating for engagement when it's supposed to be something joyful.
June 16, 2026 at 9:11 PM
Juneteenth is coming.

If you're concerned about celebrating in overwhelming crowds, finding a local place, or want to do something a little different than your typical Juneteenth celebrations, come to Feeling Free: A Juneteenth Expressive Arts Workshop.

Next week is going to be filled with so much love, fun, and connection as Juneteenth is celebrated.

However, it can be hard to feel those things when you are restricted by the stresses from work, your relationships, your location, and the state of the world.

We're only halfway through June, and there's been so much that has happened that is draining.

When it piles up, it makes it hard to imagine better and figure out what to do next.

Black MaGes (marginalized genders),

What comes up for you when you think about Juneteenth?
June 10, 2026 at 9:21 PM
"Don't forget to have your own back."

This post is not saying that you shouldn't have community care and support because you should. Humans are built to be in community and have relationships with each other.

Post funeral reflection:

Regardless of belief, you only have one of the life you're currently living.

Are you living in a way where you are joyful, authentic, and free?

Do you make the world a better place for you and the other people here?

Good afternoon!

Take time to touch grass and be human today.

Check the comments for a free Pride themed activity.

I'll be wandering around Basin Pride this afternoon. Don't be shy and say hi!

You're attempting to live your life the best you can in this hellscape, and then boom:

Stressful events happen one after another. (1/?)

Happy Pride Month!

Sunflower Creative Movement is a queer friendly, Black owned business.

Celebrate and love all of who you are whether you're questioning, on the quiet side, or out loud and proud. Rejuvenate yourself so you can continue to fight for your right to live fully and well. (1/2)

It's wild how the same message keeps popping in differentways.

Take time to reflect on how life is going, what you need to let go, how you're going to do it, and figure out what's the replacement.

I'm so ready for June.
