Where The Sunrises

Content note: This video includes images and descriptions of racial violence, destruction, theft, and generational trauma surrounding the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It may be difficult for some to receive, but this history is knowledge for all.

Day 3 of my solo cross-country journey brought me to Greenwood—Tulsa’s historic Black Wall Street. What began as a tour became an encounter with memory, resilience, and truths that must never be forgotten.

Thank you to Kode Ransom of Greenwood Griot for carrying the history of this community with honesty, care, and conviction—and to artist Jeremy Drayton Collier, whose powerful artwork gives another language to what words alone cannot hold.

“If the house is to be set in order, one cannot begin with the present; he must begin with the past.” —John Hope Franklin

This day reminded me that travel isn’t only about seeing new places. Sometimes it means standing still long enough to witness what happened there.

My journey through Arkansas from Hot Springs to Lake Catherine State Park and Mount Nebo, gave me room to slow down.

I followed quiet trails, found the waterfall, sat above the landscape with my journal and listened to a peace that somehow felt so loud.

This was the beginning of my journey—and the first moment I understood that everything ahead of me was mine to discover.

Thank you, Arkansas, for giving me my moments of reflection. ☀️

I’ve worn the hats of mom, wife, business owner and nana for quite a while.

I became a mother before I had the chance to discover who I was as an adult. I became a wife while I was still trying to figure that out. And by the time I became a business owner, I was already juggling motherhood, marriage and becoming a nana.

At some point, the hats got heavy.

So, I decided to take them off.

Not because I no longer love the people connected to them. Not because those parts of my life don’t matter. But because beneath every title I’ve carried, there is still a woman I haven’t fully had the opportunity to know.

Me.

At 42, I decided that the adventure of discovering myself was just as important as every hat I’ve ever worn—no matter how scary it was and without knowing what would be waiting for me at the other end of the road.

I’m grateful—and scared out of my dang mind—to finally give myself the time and space to discover who Ayesha is and what Ayesha wants.

So, I’d like to welcome you to join me on my solo cross-country journey—and introduce you to the next chapter of this page.

Sun of A Vegan was what I built.

Where The Sunrises is where I become. ☀️
