Shawna Cason is a medium, medicine woman, floral designer, brand alchemist, writer, and co-founder of Earth Speak. Shawna has trained in Jazz studies, Shamanic herbalism, design, and as a trauma-informed yoga teacher. She has always been a dreamer, a seeker, and deeply connected to the spiritual realms. Through her business Scentient Botanicals, Shawna creates luxury products to enhance ritualistic lifestyles & whimsical intentional floral arrangements for love ceremonies, editorial shoots, and intimate gatherings.

In this episode, Shawna shares her story and why it took so long for her to feel comfortable and safe to do so. She shares of growing up in a Christian family that denied her exploration of Earth-based spirituality, of magic, and her connection to the Other-World. Shawna speaks openly about her experience of racism and prejudice, of being told she is both too white and too Black. And speaks of the loneliness of her experience of being raised Black, but being white presenting.
