The Soul of Liberation: Kohenet/Priestess Angelique “YA” Rivera
My name is Kohenet/Priestess Angelique “YA” Rivera, and my heart echoes with the rhythm of a Neurodivergent Jewyorican Poet, a fierce Advocate for Decolonial Liberation. For over two decades, I’ve walked a path of shattering oppressive chains, of healing, and of guiding others to break free. This is the fire that fuels Priestessing Liberation, my coaching and consulting haven.
A Journey Woven with Purpose
The tapestry of my work is vibrant with threads of collaboration, reaching out to communities and teaching them how to step beyond the confines of the familiar. I am a vessel for poetry, its power flowing into hearts young and old, soothing wounds left by trauma. Trauma awareness, mental health, and the burning call for decolonial liberation are the pillars of my mission. It is a mission that demands I decolonize even the spaces meant to uplift – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion must themselves be liberated.
My Roots, My Strength
This work is the blood that runs through my veins, yet I am more than my calling. I am a mother, blessed with two incredible comrades who show me what true grounding means. And in those moments stolen back for myself, there’s the lingering aroma of a morning café, or the smoky embrace of a cherished cigar.
With love & devotion,
Kohenet/Priestess Angelique
