Our Community Queen Trae Holiday was part of the first ever Het Heru Healing Conference in Seattle, which brought spiritual leaders and healers to Langston Hughes to lead sessions and discuss their work. 

“This is the first time this amazing ancestral healing dance has been brought to the Pacific Northwest and we were so excited to host,” Holiday said. 

The event was led by Queen Mother Maasht Amen, who appeared on The Day With Trae earlier this month. You can find her interview on our Youtube channel at the link in our bio. 

“It’s about moving into and understanding what it means to be the divine feminine,” Holiday said. “It’s answering what that energy is about and how we can tap into it here in the Pacific Northwest.”

Holiday said that engaging those energies leads to healing, and that especially within the Black community taking time to heal is necessary.

“Oftentimes it is our communities that are dealing with the disparities, with polution and all these other things that have led to us not being healthy,” Holiday said. “This is an important time for us to reclaim our health.”

Shekhemt Hetep Hetep was honored to be present to help lead the dance along with Amen, saying that they’ve been working to spread the practice throughout the diaspora.

“It enables us to call upon and bring upon the joy from within and the healing that we all need in our bodies, minds, spirits and relationships,” Hetep said.
