Ezekiel Goodwin is a queer elder who walks with his ancestors. Ezekiel’s background as an HIV Education and Training Professional has led him to study yoga and other healing modalities. He is called to serve QTBIPOC folks, disabled, and anyone who seeks assistance.

“I have a degree in Africana studies, and I am currently building my practice in healing modalities like moving meditation, body scanning, and energy work. I value radical love as the healing work for ending white supremacy.“

Through the alchemy of intention, AnAkA’s multimedia practice reconnects the Self to ancient wisdoms severed from personal and collective bloodlines. Since 2012, AnAkA has cultivated an ethnographic project entitled AKTIV8: an original archive of photos, films, music, dance, tattoos and herbal creations. AKTIV8 is created with the intention to document and strengthen the heartbeat of the Afro Indigenous movements, practices and rituals of our current time. In order to share and exchange this cultivation of sacred wisdom, AKTIV8 archive presents itself as shapeshifting experiential portals: a physical space woven with AKTIV8 sounds, movement and visuals.

As a self-proclaimed "World Builder" and "Story Doula", AnAkA is a master of finding the soft spots of creation where organic artistry is evoked by Higher Consciousness. She focuses on two specific ways Spirit is omniscient in art: first, how Spirit and ritual are an integral part of the creation process; and second, how oppressive systems affect the Spiritual creativity and resource accessibility of artists.

AnAkA's creations within Creative Direction, Film, Photography, Tattooing, Visual Art, Event Curation, Dance, and Herbal Healing is what encompasses the AKTIV8 Movement. AnAkA's work brings global communities together through the common thread of creation in order to focus on the roots of  infinite knowledge we share across the world.

"I feel called to be apart of this cohort because while I have been a student of qi gong for some time I feel more loved ones in my communities are wanting to receive and practice it in ways that feel accessible to their experience with someone they know and trust in movement work, and many of the Qigong spaces I’ve been in throughout my life have not felt this way...

I uplift, prioritize, and center QT2SBIPGM (queer, trans, two-spirit, Black, Indigenous, People of the Global Majority), youth, elders, birthers, SWers, land defenders and water protectors in my carework because I believe our collective healing and care are crucial pathways to liberation. that healing our bodies and tending to how we meet change and transition are necessary parts of healing our beloved earth."

“I am an Artist & Facilitator!

I share my art & learnings with the world as I dive deep into my self exploration and overall personal development.

I also support others on their journey through spiritual work. I support others come back home to themselves, to their heart. And in doing so, fully embracing their highest, most authentic, empowered & creative expression or version of themselves.”

“I come from rootworkers of the south who utilized the earth as medicine and protection. I come from afro-indigenous Niitsitapi people as my great grandmother fled enslavement, and I come from first generation sharecroppers. My maternal lineage were teachers as they migrated to California during the great migration. I great-great grandmother lived her life to 103 years old and has been the storyteller of my paternal family…

Grief calls me, family calls me, my dreams, envisioning the future, ancestors, my mentors, community both past, present and future, mother earth calls me, hope and compassion call me into this journey, resistance of the carceral state, witnessing joy and laughter while being in communion with others bring me to this journey. Building safety for our people!
