This month’s blog post is a bit of a manifesto and I'm thankful of your time with me here! From time to time I like to call obvious attention to how I run Premye, because I want to be clear on who I am, what I offer, and how I want to engage with folks.
It’s the first day of Summer and this year, I'm calling in loving boundaries and abundance for us all! This share centers boundaries I'm rolling out in two areas that I'm calling ‘Showing Up and Stepping Back’.

At the beginning of this year, I decided to start finally painting in the BOTA (Builders of the Adytium) tarot deck I had purchased years ago. Y'all, I have been in love with and frustrated by water color since college, and I'm so happy that I finally found a way to explore the medium and give myself the grace to learn without expectations.

Did you know the artist behind the most iconic tarot deck was a black woman born of American and Jamaican roots in turn of the century England? She's an honorary ancestor of mine and I feel kindred to her search for spirit and meaning via art, practice, and community.

Just like with other large social classifications, Native Americans aren't a monolith ... I can only speak to this as it mirrors the Black Diaspora experience in this country, but I share those known complications to implore folx to seek multiple overlapping resources to inform and help nuance their understanding.

Just like deepening spiritual practices, taking time to care for ones communities, and intentionally cultivating patience and balance can do the same.

The below is a fuller version of my November 2020 Newsletter update.
In our last month of Fall and the height of Spooky Season, I feel like so many of my witchier friends whose paths follow nature, ancestry, and intentional energy work practices… We quietly work our magick all year, but in the late fall, we all show out! That's because in all practices, religious or otherwise, we follow natural cycles.

The below is a fuller version of my September 2020 Newsletter update.
You'll forgive me a longer than usual intro, #CareFreeLYSociety friends coz next month is Premyé's third year of operation and I'm getting sentimental, ha! I committed to strengthening Premyé's offerings and community last year via the newsletter, new products, and fundraising/volunteer work. I share that for transparency and to focus this next message on another annual promise I have for Premyé: revisiting its birth story and mission.

It’s month two of small business ownership and I'm happy to report I've got accomplishments and thanks to share! Life in #SlowSideHustle land is good, and life outside of it is pretty good, too! I traveled a lot this year mostly for work, but luckily I got to sneak in some fun personal travel this month. I spent about 60 hours in Chicago last weekend and it was glorious, y'all, despite that notorious Chicago winter wind!

Origin stories are important, and they don’t have to be uniquely original - they just have to be true. Thanks for reading some of Premye Herbals origin story and for supporting my blend of simple, radical and accessible herbalism.
