EAT MANGOES NEKKID

I aim to help women become more open and receptive by tapping into our senses, essentially less in our heads and more alive within our bodies. I interweave elements of sacred loving, nature, healing, and self-love with the beauty and complexities of the black female anatomy. I desire to be vulnerable in my work, to use my body as a healing vessel to express and honor my activism. As a 35 year old artist model, writer, photographer, nudist, sunworshiper, healer, lover, and pleasure activist, I have come to believe that a sensually gratified women is a wealthy natural resource for any community. Pleasure is power.

All emotions are incredible energy sources that can be utilized by the body and are neither positive nor negative. We have the divine ability to utilize what many people perceive as “negative” emotions e.g. fears, insecurities, etc and harvest that energy as love within the body, within the psyche, within our subconscious mind. For example, I learned to say this to myself: “By the power invested in me through my fears and doubts, I call forth the energy that will enable me to show my best, most confident self during my interview process.” Remember ENERGY cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or changed into something else. So instead of attempting to “destroy” energy and resist the fear/doubt I have within me, or even pretend that it’s not really there,  I am gracefully, lovingly, and (slightly off-beat) dancing with my challenges in my bright green see-thrown lace gown with my back all the way out and my fluffy, brown legs super-exposed, nurturing a pure heart and faith that extends deeply into the warm soil of the earth. I am allowing space to return those challenges back to love, the place for me where all things originate from when I learned how to love, how to love unconditionally so. Makes sense?? *Shimmies* Anja Mhusurat India O-Ame’ye is a writer, artist, lover, priestess, foodie, healer, nurturer, and intergalactic mango-goddess.
