Our Team

Dea is the founder of DivineSense. She first learned spiritual philosophy, natural remedies, and holistic practices in the Black Spiritual Tradition from her family who used these practices to care for her, sustain themselves, and thrive for generations.

With this foundation, Dea began her own exploration of spiritual philosophy, practices and experiences through religion, other indigenuous spiritual traditions (including Yoga), and holistic living more than two decades ago.  Each and every product and service offered in the collection is directly inspired by the many lessons and practices that she has acquired along her spiritual journey.

Before creating DivineSense, Dea spent a decade working alongside impoverished and oppressed communities as a social justice attorney working as a trial attorney, legal supervisor, legal trainer, advocacy trainer, and grassroots organizer in Indianapolis, IN and Washington, DC. She has also studied rights movements and is a trained anti-racism advocate and facilitative mediator with experience developing and conducting trainings in diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism principles. She has a particular interest in and explores the spiritual foundations of social justice movements.

Through her spiritual practices, she found and continues to experience personal growth, comfort during life challenges, relief from mental, emotional, and physical distress, and a deeper relationship with God.

It is her sincere hope that her work through DivineSense might help our community and country begin to heal and unite to create a better existence for humans, animals, and nature.
