About Keesh

A little about me:  My name is LaKeshia, more affectionately known as Keesh, and I am a Louisiana-born, Austin, TX residing, Black woman, healing writer who centers themes of authenticity, self-actualization, and inner child healing within the Black community. I am the author of Lavender Heart Tea: A Collection of Love Notes, Monologues, Short Stories, & Poems, a self-published collection that explores my own healing journey through storytelling and reflection. My work fosters authentic pathways to healing and divine alignment by creating space for the Black Community to return to the sacred parts of themselves they’ve quieted in order to survive.

I have always been a writer: I first started writing at the age of six. Over the years, I have inconsistently tapped into various forms of writing, including, résumé generating and editing services, blogging about various topics, etc., but each time I would create a trivial reason to quit. With the help and prophetic word from my therapist, I finally chose to step fully into my purpose as a healing writer; one with the intention to create a space for myself and others interested in reconnecting with their authentic self through full body, mind, and soul integration healing. What is the authentic self? The authentic self is the self/state of being that the Creator, God, Divine intended for us to be. The self we may have shunned from or disengaged with hoping to better align with the world and others.
