Through MTOPP, Alicia has helped organize efforts to stop rezoning and development plans that threatened to displace low-and moderate-income families of color in Brooklyn's Crown Heights and Flatbush communities.\nAlicia reflects on the full-circle evolution of her work. Early in her journey as a healer, she believed part of her role was helping people engaged in difficult fights and purpose-driven work clear their energy so they could remain strong. Eventually, she became the person doing that work herself. What began as healing individuals expanded into empowering communities, with Alicia using intuition to navigate unfamiliar political systems, develop strategies, uncover information, and challenge powerful institutions.\nThe conversation also comes full circle personally. Eboni first knew Alicia as a spiritual healer and later received her Reiki Level I attunement from her. During that attunement in a Brooklyn park, a stranger approached them and Eboni unexpectedly gave her first clairtangent reading. More than a decade later, Alicia shares what she remembers witnessing that day and why she believes the experience revealed something Eboni needed to know about herself.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rrH9oWo95eYlN2_CC_hAigu7ICjhxZVzBfMHSZa31hk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWJi/YTMxZWYyMTBlNmE2/ZGVjYTRhNzA0MGY5/N2EwZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
