A certified yoga therapist and former school teacher, Nazaahah’s work has always been guided by love for her city and a commitment to those most often left out of traditional wellness spaces. Her life’s work always involves creating healing spaces for historically marginalized communities, particularly Black women, girls, and families. She is the founder of Ama Wellness and co-founder of Bmore Empowered, and has partnered with schools, universities, and nonprofits across the region to create trauma-informed, culturally grounded programs that honor lived experience, ancestral wisdom, and the body as a site of healing.
At Ruscombe, Nazaahah is devoted to stewarding the Mansion as a sacred place of restoration while helping shape its next chapter as a welcoming home for community wellness. Her vision is rooted in reverence for Ruscombe’s legacy, a deep belief in the healing power of nonprofit work, and a commitment to ensuring that care remains accessible, inclusive, and infused with dignity for all who enter its doors.
