Bee Uytiepo (be WE-tie-poh) (they/siya) is a queer vegan of Pilipinx-Chinese ancestry, local to California and the Kingdom of Hawaii. Raised in an Italian working class neighborhood by immigrant parents in a lower middle income family. Bee grew up engaging in visual and performing arts which led to a lifelong exploration into healing arts as a Buddhist meditation student/teacher, aura, energy, neuromuscular and visceral bodyworker and transformative hypnotherapist. As a somatic forgiveness practitioner, Bee currently holds space for individual sessions and communal circles. Bee is presently offering circles and careshops for anti-racist healing, normalizing grief, anger, forgiveness and ancestral listening, often with Asian, Pilipinx, femme, gender queer and LGBTQIA+ community. Follow Bee on IG @healingisgiving or visit healingisgiving.com 

Liza Njuguna (lee-ZAH joe-GO-nah) (she/her/hers) is a black, cisgender, Kenyan-American immigrant woman who lives in Dallas, TX on Caddo land. The child of two spiritual leaders in the Christian tradition, community builders and educators, and the youngest of six children, Liza learned early to recognize and appreciate each person’s uniqueness and strength. This appreciation evolved into the understanding that the individual is strongest when all other parts are at their best. As a strategist, organizer, and writer, Liza works to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human and to be in relation. She leads individuals and organizations to nurture environments where individual contributors can perform at their best so that the whole can be at its best. Connect with Liza on LinkedIn
