Nayma Freedom

My lineage includes the ancestral memories buried beneath the soil of grief and glory, amplified by my daughter, who often sees and hears before I do. Our ancestors are not worshipped — they inform the field from which we come. They are not the Source, but they are witnesses to it. Through them, we hear the memories of lives lived by our mothers, grandparents, and their parents that shaped us before we could name it. They live through us not for idolization, but for reorientation to truth.

This is how I walk: aligned with the living God of all creation, governed by the same sacred law that governs Yeshua, guided by remembrance, and surrounded by the law that truth obeys — its love is the presence that aligns me. I walk in remembrance of the Source of all things, and I continue Its work through alignment and governance that is both internal and ancestral.

Roots in Houston

As a child, my first language was song. I was attuned to all things 88.7, 101 KLOL, Magic 102 FM, Negro Spirituals, Church of God hymns, percussion, world music, Ella Jenkins, and jazz. Music is the core of my memory and filters my entire lived experience.

I am shaped by the diversity and culture of Houston, TX, and its artistic influences. I cut my teeth on the entrepreneurial pursuits of my bricklaying father and my vocalist and music-educator mother. Through my mother's influence I visited and studied most Christian denominations and became fluent in the governance structures between Black and White America. These experiences led me to major in Anthropology at the University of Houston — and to countless construction sites, the museum district, music halls, and theaters.

For the past 25 years, I have worked in the public and private sectors of education, from elementary to higher education. Fifteen of those years were in public schools as a Behavior and Special Needs Educator. It is where I learned to be truly accepted, and to know that despite challenges, traumas, and cognitive impairments, resonance rules our environments and hearts. I now use this skill to help others navigate through distortions to reveal the soul's alignment with truth and love.
