We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Victorious Wanjiro M.Ed. . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Victorious below.
Alright, Victorious thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
My defining moment was that I was a former foster child, a ward of the state of California. I was born with crack cocaine in my system, and when I first started to learn about holistic healing and wellness practices to heal and repair my DNA, I was forever changed. I’ve studied and practice yoga, dance, writing, breath work, meditation, color therapy, sound healing, nutrition, naturopathic medicine and witnessed first hand the transformative effects of these wellness practices.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I experienced trauma, firsthand, compounded trauma, environmental trauma, physical trauma, emotional trauma, and so it was by learning different wellness practices that I was able to heal my mind, body and spirit, and now I hope others do the same thing.
I support women learn wholistic healing practices that support them heal their mind, body, womb and Spirit.
I got into this industry by first, being a community organizer, community activist with organizations like the Black Panther party, my college, black student union, and other community organizing groups
One of my main services is to provide womb healing, reproductive wellness, and birthwork services for women of the
Pan African, Pan Indigenous diaspora. currently one of the main projects that I’m working on is Womb Care International. WCI is for woman all around the world come to learn and study, best practices for womb healing and womb health. They learn these practices and share these practices amongst one another, and then go out into villages and offer womb care services to women who usually do not receive high quality reproductive care.
assess me part is there aren’t many other African-American women currently living in Africa, teaching pan African holistic healing, and cultural practices.
I am proud of this work, because it integrates activism, wholistic healing, scholarship and reproductive wellness for woman throughout the global diaspora.
Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?
you need to be adaptable, fluid, and flexible in order to succeed and doing business internationally. You have to be able to adjust at a moment notice. you have to get out of your own way!!!
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
I’ve studied my family history, and I know that there is a history of diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illness.
I also believe that I live with depression. However, I do not claim mental illness. I do not claim any disease has power over me. I believe I am stronger than any mental illness or disease, and so I am committed to live a life of wellness and healing, because I know my own life depends on it.
