QN: What does wellness mean to you as an African woman? Do you prioritise it? If yes, how?
Wellness has had different meanings for me at different stages in my life. When I was younger I was serious about sports because it allowed me to focus my energy on physical activity and away from the negativity that surrounded me. But I did sports without really knowing that it was a means of survival or a goal to overall wellness . I just got really good at it and did it professionally.
Then later on wellness meant how I looked in the clothes I wore. but right now as a mother it means balance of mind, body and spirituality which has ultimately brought me contentment.
Yes i definitely prioritize wellness. I have a partner and beads around my waist to remind me when I am slacking
QN: Any wellness practices passed down to you that you are keen on passing on yourself?
I had never looked at prayer as a wellness practice before probably because I never really knew how to pray. As a Catholic I was good at reciting prayers but if I was ever asked to say a prayer I run short of words but now I do and I think if there is any practice I would pass on it would be prayer. It is free and easy to access and when done properly it offers significant comfort.
QN: What has been your biggest lesson/realisation about wellness?
My biggest realization about wellness is that it is an action and not a state or being. One must continually work on it.
