Welcome to my website. I am Christina (she/they), also known as CB, a Black queer writer and spiritual practitioner from the rural South. I survived cancer at 24. I've spent the years since rebuilding my relationship with grief, my body, and what I actually believe. I left the structures I was raised in so I could build a spiritual practice that feels true, one rooted in my ancestors, my inner knowing, and the authority I was always told to look for outside myself.

Now I write, offer healing, and help others see themselves more clearly. I work with people navigating their own unravelings, those who are stepping away from what no longer fits and learning to trust what's always been inside them. This is my work. This is my offering.

Thank you for being here.

Who I Am

Writer. Witness. Whole.

I'm a cancer survivor (ten years in remission), a writer, a certified Reiki practitioner, a photographer, and a singer-songwriter. I'm Black, queer, nonbinary, Southern, rooted in rural Eastern North Carolina. I've spent the last decade reclaiming my body after cancer, my spirituality after questioning the structures I inherited, and my voice after years of silence.

I write about embodiment, ancestral healing, and what it means to become whole after fracture. My memoir (forthcoming 2027) chronicles the years between what was given to me and what I chose to become - the unraveling, the release, the reconstruction.

My healing work is for people in transition: cancer survivors, the spiritually deconstructed, queer and trans folks reclaiming their bodies, and anyone healing patterns that were never theirs to carry.

My photography captures what words can't: embodiment, landscapes, Black joy, queer visibility. My music opens what words and images together still can't reach. I'm a singer-songwriter, and I sometimes weave live performance into my speaking engagements, using song as a doorway into love, grief, memory, and healing.

Everything I do is connected. I don't separate my art from my healing, my writing from my spirituality, my survival from my becoming. This is all one practice.
