As a lifelong creative born and raised in Detroit, MI, self-expression has always held a special place in my heart. I’ve been writing for years. I love to tell stories.

I am an avid connoisseur of all things self-love and self-care. If it represents self-love and the everlasting willingness to grow, know that I’m all about it.

I don’t play about:

-mental health

-self-care

-safe + healthy sex education

-telling stories of inner peace + self-growth

-creative spaces for Black + Queer folk

-showcasing my talents and knowledge

-a good ass DJ set and a spacious dance floor

Self-love is a vast umbrella, and I have a lot to share with y’all.

No matter what you’re here for,

I aim to create a safe space for flawed existence and the beauty it comes with.

Thank you for visiting my world.

Damn,

That girl does it all.

I’m Za’Keya. (zAH-key-yUH)

You may know me as Mama Z,

You may know me as The Guru.

I’m the oldest of 8, a mom, lover, and Libra sun currently residing in Nashville, TN, with my daughter. I am healing from a life of toxicity, and I’m bringing you along for the ride.
