explaining the unexplainable using the power of symbols

The mental health counseling and coaching component of True Love Movement is the most well known part of what we do. Led by Licensed Professional Counselor and Life Coach Ayanna Molina, it is part of True Love Movement's mission to support the healing of "Black", Afro-Indigenous people. It is her philosophy that recognizes our collective historical past, present and future as an unforgettable component of True Healing. Just as we must know OurStory, we must also know and explore our personal past, present and future. With the understanding that all are required for healing, our counseling and coaching leads with the premise of "Sankofa": We must remember who we are and where we have been, to gain the riches of where we are going.

The mission of True Love Movement is a divinely inspired one. Many years ago, after her own bout of depression and grief, Ayanna Molina spiritually heard the name of her life's purpose: "True Love Movement". She knew that it would focus on the healing of Black women everywhere. Although she is non-religious, Ayanna knows that a connection to the Great Source is important in the healing of a deeply spiritual people.

Her personal definition of wellness is "mind/body/spirit alignment". That means truly loving one's self so that you care for and love the body (ex. eating correctly, moving the body, drinking water, practicing self-defense etc.), you cultivate and protect the mind (ex. intake healthy media, learn, read/write, create, care for your emotions and those of others etc.) and deeply connect to Spirit. Ayanna knows that a people who have been purposely lied to about every facet of themselves, struggle with "knowledge of self"-- which leads to "knowledge of God". There are many ways to understand spirituality and there is no religious or spiritual requirement to be a part of True Love Movement.

If wellness is your goal, True Love Movement can support you on this sacred wellness journey.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together". This proverb is proven to be true especially for a Black woman, owned and operated small business. Although she understands the importance of being a "strong and independent Black woman", Ayanna knows that interdependence or mutual dependance, is the best way to support ourselves and our community. True Love Movement is in existence because of the support of so many other people and organizations. We all exemplify an UBUNTU attitude of

"I am because of We"

and True Love Movement gives support as much as we receive support. Organizations such as Tekrema Center for Art and Culture, SistaMidwife Productions, Who's Coming With Me, The Neo Jazz School of Music, TMHFinancial, INsight, Amaru ComeUnity Homeschool, Project Hustle, Bar NONE, Wizdom Arts and more have shown so much love and support to True Love Movement. We support each other as important businesses and we all have a mighty mission to accomplish.

Over the last decade, True Love Movement has supported many people to discover and operate in their "Highest Selves". Although counseling and coaching help the person by providing the support to heal, everything about a person's existence must change. Therefore the real work of transformation happens through the person who desires transformation. True Love Movement chooses to support in the self-transformation of others by offering several wholistic and creative mediums that inspire True Change. As an author, Ayanna has written three books and two workbooks: Run Away Girl, Keep it High: Thoughts in a New Light and the newest book "What Twenty Twenty Taught Me". Her first workbook "Emotional Healing: 101" provides mental health self-education for women and adolescents of color. All of Ayanna's books leave the transformation up to the reader as she authentically and vulnerably shares the truth about her story. She is a storyteller and knows that healing can come for the writer and the reader, as she has healed tremendously by telling her own story. Ayanna is also a poet, spoken word artist, emcee and performing artist. All of her work is dedicated to the healing and transformation of all people through the self-healing of the Black woman. For our decade anniversary, True Love Movement is offering new ventures that inspire the complete self transformation of those who dare to join in! Our new podcast: Give & Receive FLOW on Anchor, our new offering: Remembering the Feminine Sacred Shake Class, our new support group: Warrior Women and our Emotional Detox Retreat all radically extend transformational healing for all!
