We were lucky to catch up with Jamilah Falero recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Jamilah thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. One of the most important things small businesses can do, in our view, is to serve underserved communities that are ignored by giant corporations who often are just creating mass-market, one-size-fits-all solutions. Talk to us about how you serve an underserved community.

Sacred Walks by Uni is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of underserved communities in Detroit, Michigan, and beyond. We believe well-being is a universal right and focus on addressing mental, spiritual, and physical wellness while tackling the root causes of individual challenges.

Since our inception in December 2021, we’ve actively served the community, with a special emphasis on children through our “The Creator in Me Youth Program.” This program offers affordable access for children, with scholarships available based on income.

Our non-profit sector maintains a low-income pricing structure with a $120 one-time registration fee, covering essential items. Within our “The Creator in Me Youth Program,” we offer a range of engaging activities:

• Yoga and meditation for self-awareness.
• Dance, including hip-hop, majorette, and step, for physical expression.
• Film, Photography, and editing to teach creative skills.
• Swimming as a life skill.
• Art projects for visual expression.
• Music Production for creative beats and music.
• Screen Writing & Spoken Word for powerful self-expression.

Despite space limitations, we’re committed to expanding in early 2024 with a state-of-the-art healing foundation and a vision for a boarding school, the Sacred Walks by Uni Innovative Academy. Our dedication to serving and empowering underserved communities remains steadfast.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

In my journey towards becoming a healer, I have acquired certifications in yoga, meditation, and massage. This venture has been a profound awakening, and I’ve come to realize that the healing industry is a unique path that demands the utmost dedication, knowledge, and spiritual discipline. My foray into this realm was not taken lightly, as I discovered that playing a role in the healing industry requires a deep understanding of self and the modality one practices. It necessitates a commitment to guide individuals on their path to self-improvement and higher spiritual elevation.

As I began my career, I encountered numerous yoga studios and healing entities where I observed a prevalent issue – many individuals assumed healing roles without possessing a profound understanding of themselves, their chosen modality, or the spiritual discipline required to guide others toward true transformation and self-realization. This experience unveiled the disheartening reality that our world is often a place where the misguided are leading others who are equally lost.

From these experiences, I derived essential lessons. I understood the importance of continually investing time and effort in deepening my knowledge of the healing modalities I have chosen to certify myself in. I realized the significance of independent research and self-reflection, rather than blindly following others. These lessons have molded me into a well-rounded, spiritually connected Indigenous Woman Healer, who aims to serve and guide individuals towards their true destinies in this world.

I am proud of my unwavering commitment to the holistic industry, bringing a genuine intention for mental health and spiritual awakening to my practice. I firmly believe that healing must be rooted in spirituality and should transcend the ego. My dedication to this principle sets me apart from others in the field.

What I want potential clients, followers, and fans to know about me is that I am not just a healer but a seeker of truth, a researcher, and a spiritual guide. I am driven by a deep commitment to helping individuals find their path to self-improvement, higher energy, and a more fulfilling life. My work is not just a profession; it’s a calling, and I am dedicated to embodying the true essence of an Indigenous Woman Healer in this lifetime.

That’s what Sacred Walks by Uni is about.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A significant lesson I had to unlearn was rushing into my healing career without taking time for self-healing. After starting, I realized the importance of being whole and spiritually connected.

I’m deeply grateful to my highest self, guiding angels, ascended masters, and ancestors for their support. Above all, I owe gratitude to the Most High, the true source of guidance, who has carried me through life’s challenges.

I carried childhood baggage and trauma into adulthood, perpetuating a cycle that hinders many. To reach our destinies, we must surrender to self and break free from co-dependency. This path of self-healing is essential for our well-being and the healing of humanity and the Earth. It’s a path I’ve embraced with resilience, and it has led me to a place of deep healing, self-awareness, and a profound connection with my purpose and the world.
