What We Know to Be True
A living manifesto of our roots, rituals, and resistance.
What We Know to Be True (The Principles We Live & Work By)
We know Self-Love is not a luxury—it is survival. It is our reclamation of worth, joy, and wholeness in a world that has tried to take them from us.
We know when we see our own worth, we see the worth in others.
We know we are whole, worthy, and powerful—always.
We know Healing is not just for survival—it is for becoming, for expanding, for taking up space.

Well-being is not something we earn—it is our birthright.
We know Healing is intergenerational. When we rise, we do not rise alone.
We carry those before us and empower those who come after.

What We Know About Essential Oils
Honoring scent as sacred ritual and earth-born medicine.
We know essential oils are more than fragrance—they are memory, ritual, and reclamation.
We know scent is a tool—a bridge between past and present, between intention and reality.
We know oils are not just scent.
They are liquid power—anointing the body, awakening the mind, restoring the spirit.
We know anointing ourselves is Self-Love.
An act of remembrance.
A return.
“Essential oils do not give us power—they remind us that we have always had it.”
(– Black Self Wellth)
We know scent holds power.
It replaces pain with peace, fear with grounding, doubt with certainty.
We know essential oils are an extension of us.
Whether we wear them, inhale them, or simply hold them close, they remind us of who we are.
We know even if a scent does not resonate, the ritual itself is what connects us—to ourselves, to our ancestors, to each other.
We know we are the ritual, and we are the revolution.
We know essential oils connect us to the earth—rooted in the wisdom of plants, ancestors, and traditions that have long honored their power.
We honor the sacred origins of plant medicine—respecting the land, the labor, and the lineage from which these oils come.
We honor the plants, the land, and the people who cultivate these oils, ensuring our use is intentional, ethical, and sustainable.
We are mindful that these gifts from the earth are not limitless.
We choose quality over excess, intention over trend.
We know essential oils are not just for ritual but for everyday well-being—supporting our bodies, minds, and spaces with their power.
We embrace scent as a daily practice—a reminder to breathe, to pause, to reconnect with ourselves.
We know scent has the power to shift energy, rewire thought patterns, and restore balance—not just emotionally, but physiologically.
We honor the science and spirit of scent—where chemistry meets intention, and fragrance becomes medicine for the soul.
