Critical Elections and Healing: A Conversation with Malaika Hill-Jones

Hey Village! Another therapist is in the house and what an experience for us all :). Malaika Hill-Jones, LMFT is on the show, discussing her life as a student at Howard University, the importance of being in an environment that encompasses greatness, and how to take care of yourself during this tumultuous election cycle (no one is ready for this).

Malaika, an east coast transplant with a myriad of roles, embodies the essence of resilience and holistic healing. A proud graduate of Howard University, she wears the hats of daughter, wife, boy mom (x4), and grandmother.

Malaika is currently immersed in the journey of doula training, weaving her passion for supporting others into every aspect of her life. As a licensed therapist, she operates her private practice in Sacramento under the name Abundant Healing Nyumba Marriage & Family Therapy Corp, affectionately known as The House of AHH (Abundant Holistic Healing).

At The HOA, Malaika blends traditional psychotherapy theories with interventions from ancestral healing communities, crafting an integrative approach to wellness that honors the complexities of individual experiences. She fosters community and connection through her facilitation of a local women of color support group, providing a safe space for collective healing and empowerment.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Malaika is dedicated to education and empowerment. She is preparing to lead a workshop centered around navigating the transitions of perimenopause and menopause, recognizing the importance of holistic support during these transformative phases of life.

As one-third of Nourish Well, a women-led collective offering healing workshops and experiences, Malaika continues to champion the power of community in the healing journey. She firmly believes that healing is not a solitary endeavor but a communal process, and she embodies this ethos in all aspects of her work and life.

Malaika is currently reading "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C. Gibson and for fun, she is reading "Drunk in Love" by Jasmine Guillory.

I am still reading "Dust Tracks on a Road" by Zora Neale Hurston and a bunch of articles for school.
