Interview with Sequoya Hayes: Healing Work is Creative Work

Sequoya is a licensed social worker, registered yoga teacher, and multidisciplinary artist. She incorporates themes and symbols from growing up in the midwest, and the influences of spending summers with her grandparents and family in the deep south, into her practice to restore the relationship between spirit and body. Sequoya explores black feminist praxis and theory through afrofuturism, mental health, and resource/content creation. Sequoya is the co-host of the Reclaiming Soul Work Podcast. The podcast is an offering centered around decolonizing social work, by centering a culturally responsive framework for engaging with the profession.She brings her art based therapeutic work to collective spaces through counseling with creatives and business owners on remembering rituals, and consulting with executive directors, nonprofits, and community offerings of personal/professional development on the dynamics and impacts of power. She consults nationally, and creates culturally rooted experiences for wellness and organizational culture shifts, through her business Red Linen Moon Wellness and Consulting.To find our more about Sequoya's work, visit https://linktr.ee/sequoyahayesTo follow my work, you can sign up for my newsletter on my website at www.sunshadowhealing.com, and follow me on IG @sunshadowhealing.
