In today's episode, we're tapping into our local community as we had the pleasure to connect with Oriola Esuleke. She’s the owner of The Kindred Healing Center, AHHA Consulting LLC (Aggregated Holistic Healing Alliance), and Principal owner of the first black-owned and operated social media wellness platform, the AHHA Wellness Community. Oriola is a curator of holistic culturally sacred self-healing spaces, so it's only fitting that we talk about what it means to heal from the inside out.
