Barbara Ohuninifa is an author, speaker, and healer devoted to helping Black women reclaim their power, joy, and self-worth. Her transformative work is deeply informed by her personal journey of resilience, including surviving a near-fatal aortic dissection, multiple open-heart surgeries, and a rare pheochromocytoma tumor. Barbara channels these experiences to inspire others to embrace their own paths of healing and self-discovery.

Through her books, workshops, and courses, Barbara addresses the often-overlooked burdens of Ancestral and intergenerational trauma. She empowers Black women to reconnect with the strength and wisdom of their Ancestors while exploring their own beliefs, values, and desires. Her storytelling and creative exercises provide accessible, practical tools for self-love, healing, and transformation.

Her debut book, From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful Powerful Love, chronicles her personal transformation and offers guidance for women seeking to reconnect with themselves. Her latest work, Remember Who The F*ck You Are, is a journal and activity book designed specifically for Black women. Through themes like self-nurturing, sensuality, growth, and spiritual connection, this resource helps readers explore their inner power and cultivate a deeper connection with their Ancestral wisdom.

Barbara’s mission is to provide compassionate, actionable resources for Black women to heal from systemic and internalized trauma while embracing the beauty and strength inherent in their heritage.
