Hey, Family!
Call Me Lita...
"My roots are deep, nourished by the wisdom of my ancestors, guiding me towards my true path."
Shalita’s Affirmation
I am a Spiritual Herbalist, Community Organizer and Author that believes in holistically supporting Leaders and Community Activists in strengthening and revitalizing their communities, while creating a healing space that encourages their self-care and overall well-being.
I trained through herbal apprenticeship programs and am currently a Clinical Herbal Medicine student at Notre Dame of Maryland, School of Integrative Health. I bring over twenty years of nonprofit leadership and business strategy experience and coach leaders and healers through the transitions that shape their lives and their work.
I dream of being a Bougie Farmer someday, applying my Urban Agriculture training and over 10 years of gardening experience to bring Black Leaders back to the land, their ancestors and their own healing journeys.
Natural, holistic health should be accessible to all. The healing medicine of plants and nature should be amongst the many tools everyone uses to heal themselves and build and revitalize the communities in which we live and serve.
My mission is to educate, empower, and uplift our community through plant-based wellness and healing. Through the collective, we can honor the wisdom of our ancestors while helping each other forge new connections between our bodies, minds and spirits.
"I am committed to healing my mind, body, and soul, recognizing this as a lifelong journey of self-discovery and empowerment."
