COURTNEY

Visionary Mother

Hey ya'll! I'm Courtney Alexander, the heart and soul behind Black x Sage. I'm a multi-deck creator and spiritual artist, passionate about blending art with healing and empowerment. My work focuses on rewriting narratives, creating spaces for joy and freedom, and drawing from astrology, tarot, and African traditions. I love diving deep into spiritual practices to help others explore their inner worlds and find their unique paths. When I'm not immersed in creative projects, I'm dreaming up new ways to connect with our community and nurture this beautiful vision.

LEIGH

Hey there, i'm leigh🌻 (pronounced: LEE) I'm your resident sunflower-lover, lifelong-learner & human-encyclopedia-in-training. I'm a queer, Black, disabled & audhd femme who loves all things zines & community-building! I'm a habitual hobby collector on account of my big brain, impressionable attention span & love of office supplies. I'm also a great connector of dots; I enjoy connecting community members to the resources & support they need with ease. At Black x Sage, I am equal parts librarian, archivist & historian where I hold the honor of facilitating the stewardship & (digital) memory-keeping of the community's activities, impact & evolution.

KIRSTY

Pollinator

Oh hello there! My name is Kirsty, a Queer Haitian tarot reader, star gazer, and budding herbalist. My background is in public health program management and here at Black x Sage you can find me behind the scenes, buzzing around helping out with our written materials and visioning. In this container and beyond, I lean into the tenants of compassionate honesty and mutual care. Beyond that you can catch me making ritual oils, daydreaming, and overall trying to live my best Venus-ruled life.

KRYS

Synergetic Correspondent

Greetings Wonderful Beings! I'm Krys, a Black, Queer, Spiritualist/Mystic, and a native of North Carolina who currently resides in the DMV area. Connection and community have always been the lenses through which I understand and exist in this earthly realm. I look forward to connecting with creators and dreamers across and between all realms to cultivate realities that affirm us all. Here at Black x Sage, I’m the voice behind most of the emails and newsletters that are shared within our amazing community and will be providing support during live workshops and events. I hope to further the legacy of my cultural dream lineage to tend sacred spaces for collective dreaming, healing and creating.

JOVHANNAH

As a Master Spiritual Life Coach, Energy Healing Practitioner, and Intuitive Tarot Reader, I blend my skills to offer holistic support and care.
