The organizations that Chemyeeka are a part of are representation of her values, desires and the communities in which she seeks to create change. When speaking she is always sure to give honor to her creator and her audiences know that "She is but a Vessel". Her journey in the field of Reproductive Justice began long before she knew the terminology. As a Preconception Health Strategist she focuses on the health of all individuals in prevention of disease, as well as, promotion of healthy family planning. In her role as a Birth Professional she continues that same focus while centering her strategy and personalizing her delivery to families and individuals desiring to have children while using a holistic health approach.
Chemyeeka's mission is to continue aiding families in changing the narrative around their mental health. Her hope is that communities' will encourage deeper conversations around the importance of therapy and the understanding that it is not therapy or God but instead both that aid individuals in walking in their purpose. PositivelyMyeek was created by Chemyeeka on her birthday over 2 years ago and in that time has uplifted communities and individuals to be the change agents in the present that create a better tomorrow by healing from the past.
