The Real & The Radiant: 

A Celebration Five Years in the Making

Community isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.

As a kid, I was organizing my cousins into skits, games, and tiny businesses. In college, I led in my sorority and ran diversity camps for the next generation of changemakers. As a professional, I’ve built coworking communities, global happiness movements, and guided thousands of people — from Adobe to Nike to Sony Music — in the work of connection and collective transformation.

I share this because what I’m about to invite you to comes straight from the heart.

On May 16–17th, we’re gathering for THE REAL & THE RADIANT.

This event is a celebration of our beloved community, Embrace: the multicultural, multi-faith home for spiritual entrepreneurs, innovators, and those called to build a global village that celebrates the human spirit.

For five years, my co-founders, co-leaders, and dearest friends have poured everything into Embrace. And now, we’re ready to celebrate — not just what we’ve built, but what it means to give yourself to something greater. To be in service to Spirit. To align your life’s work with your calling.

With everything happening in the world right now, we need each other more than ever.

This isn’t just about Embrace. It’s about all of us.

THE WEEKEND:

Day 1 — The Real | Saturday, May 16 | 5:30–10:00pm 

10 Years of Holistic Underground + the official launch of the Majalis Fund. Performances, impact stories, and dinner.

Day 2 — The Radiant | Sunday, May 17 | 2:00–8:15pm 

The Embrace 5-Year Anniversary. Short film premiere, inspirational speakers, “Best of Embrace” artists, live music, and a dance party.

Location: Oakstop California Ballroom, Oakland, CA

I’m personally inviting you to be part of this. Bring your spirit, your gifts, your courage, your grief, your love — your full humanity. This space is a co-creation meant to hold all of it.

Can’t make it in person? You can still be part of this. Purchase a ticket to support the cause and we’ll donate it to a community member who needs one. Every contribution helps us fill the room with aligned people.

And if you want to help spread the word — please do. Share this post, forward it, text a friend. We’ve put together a media kit to make it easy. The more the merrier.

Come ready to be moved.
