Indigenous to the colonized lands now referred to the Unites States Co. , Krisna is third generation "Mexican-American" raised in California's Central Valley. Rooted in her family's history of colonization, she has witnessed first-hand the stigmas associated with class, age, race and gender. Her passion for exploring narrative stories as a means to create social change informs her belief that all people are GLOBAL CITIZENS. This belief has motivated intentional praxis building aimed at promoting Unity Consciousness & and respect for Mother Earth. Her approach uses a multi- disciplinary technique to develop social consciousness of the many social injustices that exist. Her travels around the globe as an International Psychologist have highlighted diverse global realities that exist and have complimented her innate desire to defend Mother Nature while developing a Global Culture that acknowledges humanity's strengths, honors indigenous knowledge systems & promotes cross - cultural collaboration as the foundation for Transformative Justice.
"My pedagogy, and core praxis is build upon the teachings of indigenous elders and leaders from across the globe . As an educator, practitioners like Paulo Feire & philosopher/activist such as MLK Jr., Nelson Mandela, Bernie Sanders, Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, & bell hooks have paved the way to form my critical consciousness. My work is primarily centered upon the philosophies of Positive, Indigenous & Liberation Psychology. It is within the principles of compassion-building, recognizing cultural resiliency, the embodiment of cultural competency, the value of personal narratives, collaboration and a willingness to be an ally and advocate, that have most inspired me to develop this grassroots project. It is my hope to add immense value to the communities I live, work and love."
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

Erika is a indigenous holistic healer, yogi & founder of PachaMama School.
She joins our team in support of our GJC#3.
She shares, "BodyMind Wellness means being grateful in all aspects of my life. Being aware and grateful for our physical health while being gentle with our body allowing it space for yoga and healthy organic foods that will nourish the entire BodyMind. It is also about being aware of my thoughts and mental space, by recognizing old patterns and behaviors, accepting them & allowing space for meditation and other holistic rituals to release any old patterns and behaviors that do not serve us. I experience this by allowing space for my spirit soul (my divine self) to come to light along with my many gifts (artistic expressions), faith and spiritual beliefs."
