Given her deep love for and admiration of Black & Brown womxn, Rikimah has set out on a mission to not just focus on Black & Brown womxn in the traditional sense of wellness & wellbeing, but to also uplift, elevate, and say out loud the things she wishes someone had said to her along the way and that she knows all too well, are needed.

When Rikimah's not talking to people about wellness and wellbeing or working to change the hearts and minds of leadership within the progressive non profit space, you might catch her presenting at conferences like InsideNGO from time to time, traveling the world with her son, chasing horses at the nearby stable, searching for amazing foods to try, and if you're really watchful, sitting under a tree playing tic tac toe with the neighborhood kids while enjoying the environment and all that it has to offer. As someone that has spent countless years in the progressive movement, Rikimah knows all too well some of the challenges, pitfall, and wins that have been a part of the every day experience for Black and Brown womxn. To that point, this book was written with those things in mind. For those of you interested in some of Rikimah's journey, here are some of the roles and organizations she's worked in/for. Rikimah served as the Chief of People & State Operations for Bernie 2020. Prior to that, Rikimah served as the Global Director of People Operations for Dimagi.

Prior to joining Dimagi, Rikimah worked for 350.org serving as their Global Human Resource Director, Equality California as their Chief Administrative Officer, Color Of Change as their Director of Operations & Administration and the New Organizing Institute serving as their Director of Finance & Operations.
