Home of The Baobab Circle

You have been holding it together for so long that you have forgotten what it feels like to put it down.

You show up. You lead. You pour into everyone around you. And somewhere in the middle of all of that responsible, capable, high-functioning living – you lost the thread back to yourself.

I know this terrain. Not because I studied it. Because I have walked it.

My name is Rev. Lettie Ar-Rahmaan. I spent 32 years in corporate America, ordained in ministry, raising a family, surviving things I was never supposed to survive and doing all of it while looking like I had it together. What kept me rooted through all of it was not productivity or strategy. It was the ancestors. The practices. The sacred wisdom my lineage carried forward through grief and displacement and fire.

The Baobab Circle was born from that rootedness — a gathering space for people of African descent who are ready to stop performing and start healing. If you found your way here, the ancestors already know your name.

A gift for the leader who keeps going

Tired. Exhausted. Empty. We dare not speak those words in public spaces, around clients, or even to colleagues — because the first thing we’ll hear is, “They can’t handle this, give it to _________.”

We’ve given too much power to the idea that rest is something we earn after completing a task, a project, a degree. The list never ends. So rest isn’t achieved — and we wear burnout like a badge of honor.

The 7-Day Intentional Rest Challenge is a free guided journal designed to help high-functioning leaders begin the practice of leading from rest — one day, one reflection, one small reclamation at a time.

Seven days. No performance required. Just you, the page, and the permission to begin.

Struggling To Be Me: No Longer Silent & Invisible At The Table

They told you with their silence. With the way the room shifted when you walked in. With every moment you were handed competence and denied authority.

Struggling to Be Me is the account of what it costs to show up fully in spaces that were never designed to hold you — as a Black woman, in STEM, in ministry, in leadership. It is the story of what happens when you stop shrinking to fit and start claiming the space that was always yours.

This book is for every woman who has ever made herself smaller to make others comfortable. It is time to be seen.
