Rawiyah Tariq is a Black, gender non-binary, fat, disabled and neurodivergent artist and kink aware professional. Their roots are in queer, poly-amorous, fat community. Their tone is reflective of these roots and their work is informed by how these intersect with their Blackness. Magic, massage, storytelling and performance art are tools they use to liberate, heal and reclaim space for marginalized communities. They believe in cohesive and somatic healing and holding practices that align body, mind and spirit.

In the conversation today, we hear about Rawiyah’s entry into writing as an escape from bullying, stimulating their mind and spirit. Rawiyah tells us about their mission with A Sovereign Embodiment, and how their work and writing is centered around that vision. They work intentionally from a place of love to help others in remembering themselves in their totality and to live with choice and authenticity. Rawiyah also shares some really incredible insights and projects regarding rest, specifically within their community.
