Divine Melanin Energy: Self-Defense & Wellness with Professor Zahalea
About this Event
Align. Activate. Rise.
Join Black Lives Matter Grassroots Long Beach for Divine Melanin Energy with Professor Zahalea, a Black-centered outdoor wellness and self-defense experience created for women.
Part of our Divine Woman Wellness Series, this gathering invites us to tap into the warrior within while exploring wellness through movement, self-awareness, personal safety, and the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Led by renowned Long Beach martial artist and RA Life Defense founder Professor Zahalea Anderson, participants will experience practical self-defense techniques, movement, breath, awareness, and practices designed to strengthen confidence and help us trust our bodies and instincts.
Professor Zahalea is a second-generation practitioner of Sanuces Ryu Ju-Jitsu whose martial arts lineage includes her father, Grand Master Urban Muhammad, and the late Dr. Moses Powell. Her approach goes beyond physical defense to center self-love, discipline, preparation, spiritual alignment, and community empowerment.
No martial arts experience is necessary. Come as you are and be ready to breathe, move, learn, and connect.
