Decolonizing is spiritual work.

Pieces x Pages isn't another roundup of white "experts" intellectualizing other people's lived experiences. I'm Chanel and I'm a queer, Black mother and scholar β€” I help you turn what you're learning into who you are (or who you want to be).

Start with the free "Raise a Human Being, Not a Racist Prick" guide. Every Wednesday after, get reflections and insights on the spiritual work of decolonizing and becoming more fully yourself. Subscribe Free Below πŸ‘‡πŸ½


Racism, shame, the beliefs that no longer fit β€” none of it went in as textbook information. It went in as a reflex, through repetition, atmosphere and the things nobody flagged as a lesson. Which is why you can't simply read your way out of it.

Learned beliefs and behaviors only change through practice, by saying the true thing out loud, and getting in community with people who will tell you when you're missing the mark.

As a fourth-generation diviner, I can tell you plainly β€” that work is spiritual work.

Knowing and integrating are two different things. This newsletter is the integrating. Whether you're raising your children to not repeat the harm, or coming home to a self you buried long ago β€” you're in the right place.


What's inside Pieces x Pages?

Each week, you’ll receive:

  • a perspective shift β€” something you thought you understood, made clear
  • reflections on anti-racism as daily practice, not theory
  • spiritual insight you can use β€” taught from lived truth, not credential and mere observation
  • reminders that becoming can be gentle and still be powerful

This newsletter is for you if you're…

  • a parent doing the anti-racist work and tired of it living only in books
  • a queer, millennial woman deconstructing and coming home to herself
  • decolonizing your mind from beliefs that no longer fit β€” about faith, about race, about your own worth
  • someone who sees decolonizing and coming home to yourself as one journey
  • here for writing that's personal, clear, and real
