Womb Wellness, Education and Celebration!

Greetings,

In May of 2003, I was 7 months pregnant and 10 days shy of my college graduation.

I’d be the first in my family to complete a degree at the time. My mom attended college, yet as a wife and mother in the 1960's, she didn't receive the support needed to continue. Her act in going inspired me. I was filled with so much promise, yet I'd need to develop a new plan. How would I care for a new life, while navigating a career in the real world?

Naturally, I continued on with life discovering various paths, yet carrying so much in my womb unknowingly. Joy, Trauma and DisEase included. ——-Fast forward 17 years later ….my daughter would make me aware of a brand which would take me on journey to womb wellness.

Watch as I have a conversation with Genyii of Ahura Apothecary. Genyii is a certified mindfulness and womb wellness coach, holistic birthing doula, mother, community herbalist and owner/founder of Ahura Apothecary.

In the video we discuss our journey to the sacred womb retreat in Sedona, Arizona. We also speak about the importance of our elders, earth and share great resources. Here's the video! https://youtu.be/__pO27iGEfk

Be blessed this Mother’s Day! Begin a journey of becoming well. Knowing how to care for ourselves in this journey of life helps us to remove blockages we didn't know were in our way.

My life's journey is filled with ideas, info and inspiration to spur the world into positive action.

The Tea at MEC!

Left: Dr. Patricia Ramsey, President Medgar Evers College and Right: Yours Truly, Melanie Lewis Hello ThresholdWorld Fam, It’s been a while so we’re gonna start off with some flavorful news to warm your spirit. Sunday, August 28th was the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pre-Inaugural High Tea Fundraiser in honor of the Sixth President, Dr. Patricia Ramsey. President Ramsey is the first female and scientist to serve at the college. You’ve got to read her fascinating bio of accomplishments. https://www.mec.cuny.edu/office-of-the-president/ While contributing to the history she really just wants to make a difference to students and the school community. She also has cool ties to the schools namesake in her family tree. Her very own cousin Curtis Harris, served to make sure Medgar Evers legacy was protected back in Mississippi years ago. She shared these sentiments to those of us in attendance as we sipped our tea and tipped our hats in her honor. Speaking of fashion Michael Kors was on

Honeydew Holistics!

Hello World, I recently had the pleasure of introducing Alicia Hudson, owner of Honeydew Holistics , for a women's history month event at Borough of Manhattan Community College . Ms. Hudson gave a very informative presentation on womb wellness, to a diverse audience that continued to want more! I followed up by booking a Yoni Steaming, the main service provided at her new shop located in DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass) at 53 Bridge St. in Brooklyn, NY. - A little bit of history : The neighborhoods of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill (named differently in the 1800's) housed a free black community. Brooklyn's anti-slavery movement began in 1810 and there were black-owned businesses in this very area. Yours truly, Melanie on site. 53 Bridge St. Ms. Hudson referenced that Essence Magazine had an event in the area some time ago which introduced her to the community. She loves her magazines as they've been the source of much inspiration in her life and business. It

Rise Up!

Yours Truly!-Melanie Rise Up! - Video Version of Text Psalm 45 says 'my tongue is the pen of a ready writer'. Every time I write creation occurs. Be blessed. Today is Easter Sunday 2020 and no one would've imagined that churches would have no congregation in pews today. Fifth Ave would have no hats on display and no major egg hunts would take place in our communities. Clearly our vision for 2020 did not entail being separate from co-workers, extended family members and friends. Yet the need to stay safe at home has saved lives. More cooked meals are being prepared. More attention is being given to immediate family members. Provisions have also been made in financial relief so that more can focus on being well. We thank our medical workers for providing care during this time and always. Hopefully by this weekend more of us were able to begin shedding off our old selves. The one that didn't pay attention to the details of who we are and why we are here. T
