Welcome.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too deep,” “too sensitive,” or “too much,” I feel you.

I’m Amissa, and I’m a relational coach, embodied oracle, intuitive threshold guide, and woman who feels it all.

Here you’ll find my reflections, transmissions, and pattern-mappings of the connections between my political, creative, sexual, and spiritual awakenings as a radically loving Black queer neurodivergent cis femme breathing body of water.

The title of this newsletter is drawn from a poem called “water sign woman” by Lucille Clifton, a beloved ancestor whose work mothered me as I learned to honor the depth and potency of how I feel:

the woman who feels everything/sits in her new house/waiting for someone to come/who knows how to carry water without spilling, who knows/why the desert is sprinkled/with salt, why tomorrow/is such a long and ominous word.

they say to the feel things woman/that little she dreams is possible,/that there is only so much/joy to go around, only so much/water. there are no questions/for this, no arguments. she has

to forget to remember the edge/of the sea, they say, to forget/how to swim to the edge, she has/to forget how to feel. the woman/who feels everything sits in her/new house retaining the secret/the desert knew when it walked/up from the ocean, the desert,

so beautiful in her eyes;/water will come again/if you can wait for it./she feels what the desert feels./she waits.

This newsletter is for my fellow feel things folks walking the path of both/and when it comes to love and liberation: the personal and the political, the internal and the external, the material and the spiritual. A space for sensitive souls interested in embodied spirituality and grounded awakening. Rooted and rising.
