Sawdayah is a Gullah woman based in upstate South Carolina, by way of Detroit and Brooklyn. She is a farmer, educator, cook, storyteller, sometimes muse/model, sister, daughter, friend.
As an emerging artist, Sawdayah weaves together written and spoken word, prayers, gardening, and cooking to tell personal stories of the creation of home and the reclamation of her own Nature. Through her art, she aims to entice you to reflect on how critical relationships create our homespaces and how they contribute to ‘home’ existing/persisting, in spite of neocolonization, gentrification, and displacement. Her political and artistic focus is on homes within the African Diaspora. Her own critical relationships have her grappling with the idea of home with other people of color who face hegemony.
Sawdayah's favorite artistic medium is plants. She believes they are the pipelines to all of the "nutritive & curative substances" located in the Earth (summarized from 'Self-Healing Power and Therapy: Old Teachings from Africa' by Dr. K. Bunseki Fu-Kiau, Ibayé). The practice of being in community with people, plants, and Earth, for each groups' edification and healing, is her contribution to Black liberation. She is honored to have been called to be in relationship with land and its assemblages within ecosystems.
Sawdayah is a co-faciltator of the Spirit Seed course: Ecological Consciousness + Reciprocity.
